“…Kubovy (1981;Kubovy & Van Valkenburg, 2001) appeals to the notion of indispensable attributes for certain senses, specifically claiming that for audition, frequency acts as the auditory edge that defines and segregates an auditory object from other energy within the field (although see the recent communiqués between Neuhoff, 2003, andKubovy, 2003). The purported significance of frequency information, relative to locational information, in acoustic processing has also been emphasized by Woods, Alain, Diaz, Rhodes, and Ogawa (2001).…”

“…Kubovy, 1988;Handel, 1988;Neuhoff, 2003;Van Valkenburg & Kubovy, 2003). This is partly because in addition to asserting positive claims about frequency and time, TIA also makes certain negative claims about the role of space in audition and auditory attention (to which we return in the General Discussion).…”

Two priming experiments demonstrated exogenous attentional persistence to the fundamental auditory dimensions of frequency (Experiment 1) and time (Experiment 2). In a divided-attention task, participants responded to an independent dimension, the identification of three-tone sequence patterns, for both prime and probe stimuli. The stimuli were specifically designed to parallel the local-global hierarchical letter stimuli of [Navon D. (1977). Forest before trees: The precedence of global features in visual perception. Cognitive Psychology, 9, 353-383] and the task was designed to parallel subsequent work in visual attention using Navon stimuli [Robertson, L. C. (1996). Attentional persistence for features of hierarchical patterns. Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 125, 227-249; Ward, L. M. (1982). Determinants of attention to local and global features of visual forms. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 8,[562][563][564][565][566][567][568][569][570][571][572][573][574][575][576][577][578][579][580][581]. The results are discussed in terms of previous work in auditory attention and previous approaches to auditory local-global processing.

“…While there are many similarities between visual and auditory scene analysis, differences in the physical properties of light and sound and how they propagate to our eyes and ears (Kubovy and Van Valkenburg 2001;Van Valkenburg and Kubovy 2003) as well as the organization of the sensory epithelia (Griffiths and Warren 2004;Shamma 2001) lead to differences in the heuristics that the brain uses to estimate the content of visual and auditory objects. An important difference between the visual and auditory scenes, for example, is that a visual source that is closer to the observer generally occludes a source that is further away.…”

Effects of Reverberant Spatial Cues on Attention-dependent Object Formation

A recent study showed that when a sound mixture has ambiguous spectrotemporal structure, spatial cues alone are sufficient to change the balance of grouping cues and affect the perceptual organization of the auditory scene. The current study synthesizes similar stimuli in a reverberant setting to see whether the interaural decorrelation caused by reverberant energy reduces the influence of spatial cues on perceptual organization. Results suggest that reverberant spatial cues are less influential on perceptual segregation than anechoic spatial cues. In addition, results replicate an interesting finding from the earlier study, where an ambiguous tone that could logically belong to either a repeating tone sequence or a simultaneous harmonic complex can sometimes "disappear" and never be heard as part of the perceptual foreground, no matter which object a listener attends. As in the previous study, the perceived energy of the ambiguous element does not "trade" between the objects in a complex scene (i.e., the element does not necessarily contribute more to one object when it contributes less to a competing object). Results are consistent with the idea that the perceptual organization of an acoustic mixture depends on what object a listener attends.
