The influence of onset sound level of test stimulus on reported magnitude of changing-loudness aftereffects.

From: The Journal of General Psychology | Date: July 1, 1995| Author: | Copyright information

An increasing-loudness aftereffect follows adaptation to a tone of decreasing sound level; a decreasing-loudness aftereffect follows adaptation to a tone of increasing sound level. Contrary to the belief that sensory processing contributes to these changing-loudness aftereffects, evidence suggests that onset sound level of test stimulus may have little influence on reported aftereffects. This was tested formally in the present study. Adapting stimuli and test stimuli all employed 1-kHz sinusoidal carriers: Three onset sound levels of test stimuli were well within the range of sound levels ...
