Demany, Laurent; Semal, Catherine; Pressnitzer, Daniel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2011
Listeners had to compare, with respect to pitch (frequency), a pure tone (T) to a combination of pure tones presented subsequently (C). The elements of C were either synchronous, and therefore difficult to hear out individually, or asynchronous and therefore easier to hear out individually. In the "present/absent" condition, listeners had to judge…

Maidment, David W.; Macken, William J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Classical cognitive accounts of verbal short-term memory (STM) invoke an abstract, phonological level of representation which, although it may be derived differently via different modalities, is itself amodal. Key evidence for this view is that serial recall of phonologically similar verbal items (e.g., the letter sounds "b",…

Huang, Ying; Huang, Qiang; Chen, Xun; Wu, Xihong; Li, Liang – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
Perceptual integration of the sound directly emanating from the source with reflections needs both temporal storage and correlation computation of acoustic details. We examined whether the temporal storage is frequency dependent and associated with speech unmasking. In Experiment 1, a break in correlation (BIC) between interaurally correlated…

McKeown, Denis; Wellsted, David – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2009
Psychophysical studies are reported examining how the context of recent auditory stimulation may modulate the processing of new sounds. The question posed is how recent tone stimulation may affect ongoing performance in a discrimination task. In the task, two complex sounds occurred in successive intervals. A single target component of one complex…

Pfordresher, Peter Q. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2005
Five experiments explored whether fluency in musical sequence production relies on matches between the contents of auditory feedback and the planned outcomes of actions. Participants performed short melodies from memory on a keyboard while musical pitches that sounded in synchrony with each keypress (feedback contents) were altered. Results…

Alridge, James W. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 1978
Four experiments are reported investigating previous findings that speech perception interferes with concurrent verbal memory but difficult nonverbal perceptual tasks do not, to any great degree. (Editor)

Hughes, Robert W.; Jones, Dylan M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2005
A novel effect is reported in which serial recall of visual digits was disrupted to a greater degree by the presence of the same set of digits presented as an irrelevant auditory sequence than by the presence of irrelevant auditory consonants, but only when the order of the irrelevant digits was incongruent with that of the to-be-remembered digits…

Grondin, Simon – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2005
This study tested the hypothesis that memory is a major source of variance in temporal processing. Participants categorized intervals as short or long. The number of base durations and interval types mixed within blocks of trials varied from 1 session to another. Results revealed that mixing 2 base durations within blocks increased categorization…
