“…The degree of pitch alteration was manipulated as well as the ordinal number of the affected harmonic (e.g., Alain et al, 2001;Moore, Peters, & Glasberg, 1985;Moore et al, 1986). Participants were asked either to report which of two complex tones contained a mistuned harmonic, how many sounds were perceived (e.g., Alain et al, 2001;Moore et al, 1986), or to match the pitch of a mistuned harmonic with an adjustable tone (e.g., Hartmann & Doty, 1996;Hartmann, McAdams, & Smith, 1990;Roberts & Brunstrom, 1998Roberts & Holmes, 2006). The likelihood of reporting hearing two distinct sounds instead of one during a mistuned interval was taken as evidence for the segregation of a complex sound into two separate concurrent auditory objects (e.g., Alain et al, 2001;Moore et al, 1986).…”
