Abstract
Three experiments are analyzed in terms of a conventional definition of masking and a masking index conforming to this definition. It is demonstrated that, even though all of these experiments yield data permitting calculation of the masking index, at least 3 distinct processes lead to these data: signal masking, distortion of the sound wave form, and listener distraction. Either masking theories should take these 3 processes into account, or masking should be redefined.Keywords
