Profile Analysis: A Different View of Auditory Intensity Discrimination.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Green, David M. – American Psychologist, 1983
Analyzes a method of detecting changes in a particular frequency band by evaluating the overall shape or profile of the auditory signal spectrum. Claims that profile analysis is different from intensity discrimination, and applies the new method to detecting noise sinusoid and to results obtained when signal frequency is uncertain.

Sutcliffe, P.; Bishop, D. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2005
We investigated how different psychophysical procedures affect frequency discrimination performance in children. Four studies used a design in which listeners heard two tone pairs and had to identify whether the first or second pair contained a higher frequency target tone. Thresholds for 6-and 7-year-olds were higher than those for 8- and…
