Role of attention in processing of basic auditory features

通过几个选择适应实验考察了注意对基本听觉特征加工的影响。实验结果表明，注意对声音调幅的加工有影响，但对耳间时间差的检测似乎不受影响。这表明，注意力在基本听觉处理中的作用不仅仅是改变听觉外围的特征。

Effect of attention on processing of basic auditory features was investigated through several selective-adaptation experiments. Results of the experiments showed that processing of amplitude modulation of sounds is affected by attention, though detection of interaural time difference seemed not to be affected. These suggest that role of attention in basic auditory processing is more than to change characteristics at the auditory periphery.
