Discrimination of the "tempo of frequency change" cue.
The results of identification and two oddity discrimination tests with a stop versus glide continuum are presented. When the oddity method is combined with "Facilitation," i.e., by repeating one of the stimulus tokens ten times before each oddity triad, discrimination is considerably improved. The shape of the resulting discrimination function suggests a possible psychoacoustic basis in terms of relative duration differences.
