Abstract
Two preliminary experiments in a program to investigate the psychophysics of auditory attention are reported. Listeners were required to detect changes in intensity and frequency in pure-tone bursts of 100-msec duration under four conditions of attention, including undivided and divided attention. In the divided attention conditions, there was a lowering of the proportion of targets detected, and this was particularly true when targets occurred simultaneously on two channels with both requiring a response.
