Auditory
Sequence Discrimination in Japanese Monkeys: Effect of Frequency
Proximity on Perceiving Auditory Stream

Bregman
and Rudnicky (1975) conducted an experiment of auditory sequence
discrimination, and showed the effect of frequency proximity on the
stream segregation in humans. In the present study, similar task
was applied to Japanese monkeys to test whether stream segregation
is observed in monkeys. The performance of one of the two monkey
subjects was qualitatively similar to that in humans, and was consistent
with the idea that the monkey segregated sound according to frequency
proximity. Key words: auditory stream segregation, Japanese monkeys |
