“…In our analysis, we took d'=1.35 to be the baseline performance. This d' value corresponds with correct performance on 75% of the trials (Macmillan & Creelman 1991), which is often seen as the correct rate for a justnoticeable-difference (JND) (Durrant & Lovrinic 1977).…”

Two experiments were carried out to examine whether the Persian word accent is deleted in two putative deaccenting contexts, post-focal regions and presupposed embedded clauses, to the extent that accentual minimal pairs become homophonous. A production experiment showed low F0 plateaus on the post-focal and presupposed words, while a perception experiment showed that such words are not recognized above a just-noticeable-difference baseline. The results confirm that accents are deleted in the contexts concerned and that accent location contrasts are neutralized.

“…The alternating pressure change across the cochlear partition (created by sound stimulation) is transformed by the hair cells into alternating current (AC) that, across the resistance of the cochlear fluids, appears as an AC voltage. 4 Previous studies showed that the vibration of the basilar membrane nonlinearly amplified for the characteristic frequencies. The lower the sound intensity, the larger the amplification of deflection of the basilar membrane.…”

Audible range for Mongolian gerbils overlaps well with one for humans. This is one of the reasons why they have been used for auditory studies. So, most of studies on gerbils have been in human audible frequency range. They live in a group and use a variety of vocalizations for their conspecific communication. Roughly 80% of the fundamental frequencies of their communication calls are found in the frequency range above 20 kHz. However, thresholds for frequencies above 20 kHz have been reported higher than those for low frequencies (from 1 kHz to 16 kHz) by as much as 20 dB. We examined how gerbils utilize ultrasonic frequency range for their important vocal communication.Findings from alert animals with paired condition showed the cochlear microphonics (CM) were amplified by 2-4 dB with ultrasonic communication calls of low sound pressure levels (from 45 dB to 60 dB p.e. SPL), while no enhancement was observed with the same calls higher than 65 dB p.e. SPL. Findings also suggested that CM responses to tone burst higher than 25 kHz demonstrated magnified amplitude under the paired condition. Data strongly imply that attention to conspecifics would increase sensitivity to ultrasonic frequency range.
