Abstract
Measurements of interaural cross-correlation jnds from two reference correlations at several bandwidths were obtained for constant-total-power and constant-spectral-power Gaussian noise. At a reference correlation of 1, the results indicate that for bandwidths less than or equal to 115 Hz the jnd remains at a constant value of approximately 0.004, and monotonically increases (discrimination performance degrades) to approximately 0.04 as bandwidth increases above 115 Hz. At a reference correlation of 0, the jnd decreases (discrimination performance improves) from approximately 0.7 to 0.35 as the bandwidth increases from 3 to 115 Hz, and remains at a constant value of approximately 0.35 for bandwidths greater than 115 Hz. A decrease in the spectral level causes an increase in the jnds at a reference correlation of 1, and no change in the jnds at a reference correlation of 0. Of the three models tested, none is able to completely describe all of the empirical results.
