title: [Echo thresholds of the precedence effect in the vertical plane].
abstract: Echo thresholds were measured for two configurations of loudspeakers in the vertical plane. The first configuration was characterized by the lead sound presentation from a loudspeaker placed in front of a subject, whereas the lag sound was presented from the loudspeaker above the subject's head. In the second configuration, the lead and lag sounds were presented from the same loudspeakers but in reverse order. All the stimuli were broadband noise bursts in the frequency range of 5-20 kHz. Burst durations were 5, 10, 20, and 100 ms. Average echo thresholds differences were significant only for the signals of 100 ms in duration (F (1, 16) = 6.28; p < 0.05). For the other signals (5, 10, 20 ms), there was no significant effect of location of lead and lag signals (p > 0.05).
