Listening to relatively intense tones at 1 frequency and weak tones at another makes the latter relatively louder. The auditory system’s relative response to low-frequency (f 1) and high-frequency (f 2) tones depends on the separation between f 1 and f 2. When f 1 and f 2 differ little, loudness matches change little with shifts in mean sound pressure levels (SPLs) at each frequency; but when f 1 and f 2 differ more, matches change markedly, showing how the auditory system “recalibrates” its responses to f 1 and f 2. The magnitude of recalibration and its frequency bandwidth also depend to a modest degree on the range of SPLs, their mean level, and the experimental paradigm. The representation of loudness reflects the processing and recalibration of multidimensional peripheral inputs within a higher level, context-sensitive (adaptationlike) mechanism. Other perceptual modalities show evidence of analogous mechanisms.
