Temporal Discrimination of Modulated Intensity in Music Excerpts and Tones.

Geringer, John M.

Journal of Research in Music Education, v39 n2 p113-20 Sum 1991

Presents the results of a study designed to test ability to discriminate sound intensity modulations. Examines time required for making correct discriminations of stimuli that increased, decreased, or remained the same in intensity. Concludes that both musicians and nonmusicians perceive intensity decreases more easily than increases. (DK)
