Abstract
Several studies using bandlimited masking noise have indicated that NOSO frequency resolution is better than that for NOS pi. The present study examined NOSO and NOS pi frequency resolution with two different masking methods: bandlimited noise and notched noise. Noise spectrum levels of 10, 30, and 50 dB/Hz were used. Thresholds were determined for a 500-Hz signal, using a three-alternative forced-choice adaptive procedure, as a function of masker bandwidth and notchwidth. For NOSO presentation, 3-dB down points were comparable for the notched-noise and bandlimiting methods. For NOS pi presentation, 3-dB down points were generally greater for the bandlimiting method than the notched noise method. Furthermore, for NOS pi presentation, the 3-dB down estimate increased as noise level increased for the bandlimiting method, but stayed constant for the notched-noise method. It is suggested that the two masking methods measured different aspects of binaural processing.
