title: Some observations on simultaneous and nonsimultaneous masking.
abstract: The interactions between phase, signal level, and interstimulus interval (delta t) were examined in the transition region between simultaneous and nonsimultaneous masking. Phase effects as large as 22 dB were observed in forward masking. These trends can be explained by considering the effects of phase upon the stimulus envelope.
