Abstract: | Uncertain frequency detection of brief sinusoids in noise was studied in a special Yes-No paradigm that included single-frequency trials randomly interleaved with trials on which either of two frequencies could be presented. Contrary to implications from previous studies, and to sensory filter models of attention, the Os’ deliberate attempts to impose narrow- or wide-band listening had only a small effect on the relative detectability of signals at 500 Hz and at 1100 Hz. If frequency selectivity is to be understood as sensitivity adjustment (rather than as a recognition process), the relevant parameters may be entirely stimulus determined. |
