Post masking with two maskers: Effects of bandwidth

Abstract
Thresholds of test tone impulses masked by 1 masker (M1) or 2 maskers (M1 + M2) are determined in a post-masking (forward masking) stimulus paradigm. Test tones are centered at masker M1 and the bandwidth of M1 is varied. The magnitude of the threshold decrease (.DELTA.L) caused by the addition of masker M2 depends on masker M1 as follows: large .DELTA.L for narrow-band noise and AM [amplitude modulation] tone, medium .DELTA.L for pure- and QFM-tone and almost no threshold decrease for broadband noise-masker M1.
