Frequency Discrimination as a Function of the Number of Periods of the Signal Presented,
Abstract
The present experiment attempted to determine how frequency discrimination improved as a function of the number of periods of the signal presented. Performance was found to improve in the same manner for frequencies from 100 to 8000 Hz and discrimination was maximized for all frequencies at about the same number of periods. The argument was made that the results could best be explained by postulating that the auditory system accomplishes frequency discrimination by means of a phase frequency analysis mechanism. (Author)
