Abstract
Measurements of frequency discrimination for single damped waves are reported for frequencies between 200 and 5000 cps, and for values of the damping a between [sigma] and 500 sec-1 ([sigma] is the reciprocal of the time constant of the envelope of the damped wave.) There is an increase in the difference limen for frequency as the damp-ign increases, or as the effective duration decreases. The increase in the difference limen is accompanied by a loss in the pitch character of the stimulus, and there is usually a sharp deterioration in discrimination above a certain value of damping i.e., above a certain band width of the stimulus.
