Abstract
Changing the time separation between two trains of pulses of identical rate produces a tone whose pitch is correlated with the magnitude of the time separation. Evidence has been advanced against the notion that the time difference tone is due to a neural time‐analyzing process. Experiments were made to determine the validity of this evidence by comparing the results of pitch and lateralization phenomena produced by filtered and unfiltered pulses of different polarities. A close agreement was found to exist between the results of the pitch experiments and those made by Flanagan on lateralization of clicks. The possibility of explaining the pitch phenomena in terms of a neural time pattern is considered, and the evidence against this hypothesis found to be inconclusive.
