Onset dominance in sound localization was examined by estimating observer weighting of interaural delays for each click of a train of high-frequency filtered clicks. The interaural delay of each click was a normal deviate that was sampled independently on each trial of a single-interval design. In Experiment 1, observer weights were derived for trains of n=2, 4, 8, or 16 clicks as a function of interclick interval (ICI=1.8, 3.0, or 12.0 msec). For small n and short ICI (1.8 msec), the ratio of onset weight to remaining weights was as large as 10. As ICI increased, the relative onset weight was reduced. For large it and all ICIs, the ongoing train was weighted more heavily than the onset. This diminishing relative onset weight with increasing ICI and n is consistent with optimum distribution of weights among components. Efficiency of weight distribution is near ideal when ICI=12 msec and n=2 and very poor for shorter ICIs and larger ns. Further experiments showed that: (1) onset dominance involves both within- and between-frequertcy-channel mechanisms, and (2) the stimulus configuration (ICI, n, frequency content, and temporal gaps) affects weighting functions in a complex way not explained by cross-correlation analysis or contralateral inhibition (Lindemann, 1986a, 1986b).
