“…There is evidence that earlier perceptual (N1, P2) components are relatively spared, although further studies using meaningful sounds may help clarify this issue. Our findings coupled with those from the visual modality are consistent with AB models suggesting a common underlying processing limitation on short‐term consolidation in visual and auditory attentional blink (e.g., Arnell & Jolicoeur, 1999; Shen & Mondor, 2006, 2008).…”

“…This “attentional blink” (AB) persists for several hundred milliseconds (e.g., Broadbent & Broadbent, 1987; Raymond, Shapiro, & Arnell, 1992) and provides a means for assessing the deployment of attention in the temporal domain. Although the AB has been studied primarily in the visual modality (e.g., Broadbent & Broadbent, 1987; Chun & Potter, 1995; Giesbrecht & Di Lollo, 1998; Jolicoeur & Dell'Acqua, 1998; Shapiro, Raymond, & Arnell, 1994), there is some evidence to suggest that AB can also occur in the auditory modality (e.g., Arnell & Jolicoeur, 1999; Duncan, Martens, & Ward, 1997; Mondor, 1998; Shen & Mondor, 2006, 2008; Soto‐Faraco & Spence, 2002; Tremblay, Vachon, & Jones, 2005).…”

Attentional blink (AB) refers to the situation where the correct identification of a first target causes a processing deficit of a second target. The present study aims to clarify the stage at which the auditory AB occurs by means of scalp-recorded event-related potentials. On each trial, participants indicated whether predefined target sounds were presented in a rapid series of distractor sounds. The results showed a large AB when the presentation rate was fast. This auditory AB was paralleled by a suppression of the P3b wave to the second target. During the AB, the second target generated N1 and P2 waves, suggesting that some aspects of perceptual processing were preserved. The magnitude of the AB decreased with decreasing presentation rate. The improvement in detecting the second target was accompanied by an increased and delayed P3b. These results suggest that the auditory AB reflects a limitation of short-term consolidation and provides evidence for a common underlying processing limitation during the AB in both visual and auditory modalities.

“…Infant and adult objectÁfile research has primarily focused on visual perception with relatively few studies exploring nonvisual representations (but see Hauser, Dehaene, Dehaene-Lambertz, & Patalano, 2002;Kubovy & van Valkenburg, 2001;Murray et al, 2004;Shen & Mondor, 2008;ShinnCunningham, 2008). Much can be learned by examining processing in multiple modalities and between modalities.…”

An important task of perceptual processing is to parse incoming information into distinct units and to keep track of those units over time as the same, persisting representations. Within the study of visual perception, maintaining such persisting object representations is helped by ''object files''*episodic representations that store (and update) information about objects' properties and track objects over time and motion via spatiotemporal information. Although object files are typically discussed as visual, here we demonstrate that objectÁfile correspondence can be computed across sensory modalities. An object file can be initially formed with visual input and later accessed with corresponding auditory information, suggesting that object files may be able to operate at a multimodal level of perceptual processing.Perception is a complicated process with impressive feats seemingly accomplished with ease. For example, immense amounts of undifferentiated information are smoothly transformed into meaningful units; photons of

“…This form of masking is referred to as “energetic masking,” in contrast to “informational masking,” which is assumed to occur when sounds do not have acoustic overlap. Rather, informational masking is assumed to take place at later anatomical sites in the auditory system and to result from a variety of higher-level factors including perceptual grouping and attention (Durlach et al, 2003a; Kidd et al, 2007; Shinn-Cunningham, 2008). The notion of informational masking has generated interesting research that can inform perceptual mechanisms relevant to the current discussion.…”

Auditory perception and cognition entails both low-level and high-level processes, which are likely to interact with each other to create our rich conscious experience of soundscapes. Recent research that we review has revealed numerous influences of high-level factors, such as attention, intention, and prior experience, on conscious auditory perception. And recently, studies have shown that auditory scene analysis tasks can exhibit multistability in a manner very similar to ambiguous visual stimuli, presenting a unique opportunity to study neural correlates of auditory awareness and the extent to which mechanisms of perception are shared across sensory modalities. Research has also led to a growing number of techniques through which auditory perception can be manipulated and even completely suppressed. Such findings have important consequences for our understanding of the mechanisms of perception and also should allow scientists to precisely distinguish the influences of different higher-level influences.
