Resource summary

Question 1

Question
What is localization?
Answer
  • The experience of sound's origin in space
  • Where the individual is in auditory space
  • Where the sound is in auditory space
  • The process of transmitting a sound in order to be located

Question 2

Question
What is lateralization?
Answer
  • The experience of sound's origin inside the head
  • The experience of sound's origin in auditory space
  • The ability to process auditory stimuli in both hemispheres
  • The experience of two or more sounds coming from different locations

Question 3

Question
What are the two primary localization cues?
Answer
  • Temporal/phase disparity and Intensity disparity
  • Frequency disparity and Intensity disparity
  • Frequency disparity and Temporal/phase disparity

Question 4

Question
What is the main assumption of temporal/phase disparity (interaural temporal (phase) difference) ?
Answer
  • The sound will reach one ear before the other, onset difference
  • The soundwave will be at a different phase when it reaches one ear than when it reaches the other
  • The temporal qualities of a sound give information about the source of the sound
  • The relationship between amplitude and pitch give information about the sound's location

Question 5

Question
Ongoing phase disparity: the (a) between ears provides information about which (b) leads
Answer
  • (a) phase relation, (b) tone
  • (a) frequency relation, (b) tone
  • (a) phase relation, (b) frequency
  • (a) frequency relation, (b) frequency

Question 6

Question
With (a) frequencies the sound wave is longer, therefore (b) to tell which tone's phase leads the other
Answer
  • (a) low, (b) easier
  • (a) high, (b) easier
  • (a) low, (b) harder
  • (a) high, (b) harder

Question 7

Question
Between frequencies of (a) time taken to complete half a wavelength is (b) the time taken to travel the head's circumference. Therefore ambiguous to which ear is receiving tone.
Answer
  • (a) 750-1000Hz, (b) aproximately
  • (a) 750-1000Hz, (b) greater than
  • (a) 500-750Hz, (b) approximately
  • (b) 500-750Hz, (b) greater than

Question 8

Question
It is possible to use phase cues up to what?
Answer
  • 700Hz
  • 1000Hz
  • 700 mel
  • 1000 mel

Question 9

Question
Phase disparity cues are most useful for frequencies that have (a) wavelengths compared to head size
Answer
  • long
  • short
  • equal

Question 10

Question
What is the main assumption of intensity disparity (interaural intensity difference)?
Answer
  • Sound will be slightly more intense in closer ear
  • Sound will be slightly more intense in farther ear
  • Sound will be slightly more intense depending on its frequency
  • Sound will be slightly less intense depending on its timbre

Question 11

Question
(a) sound tends to be reflected rather than wrapping round the head
Answer
  • high frequency
  • low frequency
  • high intensity
  • low intensity

Question 12

Question
Low-frequency pure tones primarily use (a) whilst high-frequency tones primarily use (b)
Answer
  • (a) phase disparity, (b) intensity disparity
  • (a) intensity disparity, (b) phase disparity
  • (a) intensity disparity, (b) intensity disparity
  • (a) phase disparity, (b) phase disparity

Question 13

Question

  • True
  • False
