Abstract
Frequency‐discrimination thresholds, for a wide range of stimulus frequencies and stimulus levels, were obtained from three normal‐hearing listeners. Linear regression analyses of the present data, and of data from two previous studies, indicate that an SL−1 transformation of stimulus level and a (F)1/2 transformation of stimulus frequency yield linear dimensions that allow accurate predictions of frequency‐discrimination thresholds from normal‐hearing listeners over a wide range of stimulus frequencies (125–8000 Hz) and stimulus levels (5–80 dB SL) with a single prediction equation.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
