Abstract
The masking of 1 tone by a preceding tone (forward masking) was studied [in humans] as a function of the duration of the masker. Forward masking increased with increasing masker duration for the range of durations used (35-500 ms). The functions relating masked probe threshold in dB to the log of masker duration were well described by straight lines. The rate of growth of forward masking as a function of masker duration was greatest for relatively high masker levels and frequencies.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
