“…This type of sequence can be heard as one coherent sound stream consisting of all sounds (ABA‐ABA‐ABA‐; the “integrated” percept) or as two separate streams, one of which contains only the A sounds (A‐A‐A‐A‐A‐A‐) while the other stream contains only the B sounds (‐B—B—B‐; the “segregated” percept). Prolonged exposure to such sequences, where the A and B tones differ in some feature/s, leads to perception switching back and forth between the different interpretations (Bendixen et al., ; Bendixen, Denham, Gyimesi, & Winkler, ; Bőhm et al., ; Denham, Gyimesi, Stefanics, & Winkler, , ; Denham & Winkler, ; Pressnitzer & Hupé, ; Roberts, Glasberg, & Moore, ; Szalárdy, Bendixen, Tóth, Denham, & Winkler, ). Typically, experimenters using the auditory streaming paradigm asked participants to mark their perception in a manner so as to distinguish between the integrated and the segregated percepts, but not to further distinguish between “segregated‐A sound appearing in the foreground” and “segregated‐B sound appearing in the foreground.” In fact, it might be difficult for participants to make such a distinction because, given the relative simplicity of the stimulus configuration in the ABA paradigm, it is conceivable that the representations of the A and B streams are maintained in parallel, or that rapid switching between them occurs.…”
