Perceived duration of auditory sequences

M Sivyer, D Finlay

    The Journal of General Psychology
    |October 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    The perceived duration of auditory sequences is directly related to the amount of frequency change between tones. Greater frequency changes lead to longer perceived durations, impacting auditory memory.

    Area of Science:

    • Auditory Perception
    • Psychoacoustics
    • Cognitive Psychology

    Background:

    • Auditory perception research explores how humans interpret sound.
    • The duration of auditory sequences can be influenced by various acoustic properties.
    • Previous studies have not fully explored the relationship between frequency change and perceived duration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effect of frequency differences between adjacent tones on perceived duration.
    • To determine if smaller frequency changes lead to shorter perceived durations.
    • To examine the relationship between the amount of frequency change and perceived duration in auditory sequences.

    Main Methods:

    • Pure tone auditory sequences were presented in a successive comparison task.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Participants judged which of two sequences was longer.
  • Experiment 1 tested the hypothesis that small frequency differences yield shorter perceived durations.
  • Experiment 2 systematically varied the amount of frequency change.

    • Main Results:

    • Results from Experiment 1 did not support the hypothesis that small frequency differences shorten perceived duration.
    • Experiment 2 revealed a direct relationship between the amount of frequency change and perceived duration.
    • A presentation order effect (POE) was observed in Experiment 1 but not in Experiment 2.

    Conclusions:

    • Perceived duration of auditory sequences is positively correlated with the magnitude of frequency change.
    • The presence or absence of a presentation order effect may depend on auditory sequence memory.
    • Further research is needed to understand the cognitive mechanisms underlying auditory duration perception.
