Influence of the Time Interval on Experimentally Induced Shifts of Pitch

Abstract
Shifts in the apparent pitch of a 600‐cps standard tone as a function of prolonged (60‐sec) stimulation with pure tones differing in frequency from the standard tone are described. A theoretical basis for the phenomenon is suggested, and data are presented showing the results of manipulating the time interval between the satiation tone and the test stimuli. Apparent shifts on the order of 6 to 8 cps for 1‐sec intervals, decreasing to 1 cps for 60‐sec intervals, are demonstrated for both 575‐ and 635‐cps satiation tones.
