Ch 12 Psych of Perception--Sound Localization

The shadow created by the head that decreases the level of high-frequency sounds on the opposite side of the head. This is the basis of the localiation cue of interaural level difference. (ILD)

The study of how sounds are reflected in rooms. an important concern for this is how these reflected sounds change the quality of the sounds we hear

The perception of the location of a sound source

The sound environment, which includes the location and qualities of individual sound sources

The process by which listeners sort superimposed vibrations into separate sounds

Perception of where sounds are located in space. ______ extends around a listener's head in all directions, existing wherever there is a sound.

The effect that occurs when a series of tones that differ in pitch or timbre are played so that the tones become perceptually separated into simultaneously occurring independent streams of sound

In hearing, specifies location that vary from left to right relative to the listener

Sound localization that involves both ears

A surface in the shape of a cone that extends out from the ear. Sounds originating from different locations on this surface all have the same interaural level of difference and interaural time difference, so information provided by these cues is ambiguous.

Sound that is transmitted directly from a sound source to the ears

In hearing, this coordinate specifies how far the sound source is from the listener

In hearing, sound locations that are up and down relative to the listener

Sound that reaches the ears after being reflected from a surface such as a room's walls

The greater level of a sound at the closer ear when a sound source is positioned closer to one ear than to the other. this effect is most pronounced for high-frequency tones. the _____ provides a cue for sound localization.
