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
