Faster modulation triggers ear’s temporal integration while slower modulation engages short-term memory

Evidence

Recall that temporal integration is the ability to take advantage of increases in stimulus duration to improve perception. Not surprisingly, temporal integration is also impacted by SNHL. Hall and Fernandes (1983) and Carlyon, Buus, and Florentine (1990) measured temporal integration in listeners with normal hearing and with SNHL and found that the benefit afforded by increasing the duration of the stimulus was about 1/2 or less for listeners with SNHL. — Jennifer Lentz, Psychoacoustics- Perception of Normal…, 1112 (#qualifies, via linked claim)
