A BRIEF HISTORY OF RESEARCH ON THE PHYSICAL FACTORS INVOLVED IN AUDITORY LOCALIZATION.
Abstract
Research on the physical factors involved in human auditory localization is presented in brief historical review. The intensity, phase, and time theories are followed in their development as possible explanations for auditory spatial discriminations. Theoretical calculations and empirical measurements are cited for the physical differences in the stimuli reaching the two ears from sources located in various azimuth directions. Basic psychophysical data are given for the subjective location of sound source images produced by distant external sound radiators and by acoustic stimuli delivered through earphones and tubes. Emphasis is upon the localization of pure tone stimuli in a free acoustic field or its simulation. (Author)
