How the monaural presentation is achieved changes the summation effect

Evidence

Figure 1 shows that there was a strong effect of the presentation condition (F (2,22) = 22.1, p < 0.001). The summation effect is less than 1 dB in the Loudspeaker condition, in which monaural presentation was achieved by occluding the meatus with one finger, but is 3–6 dB in the Virtual and Dry conditions, in which monaural presentation was achieved by deactivating one earphone. Summation was also significantly smaller using speech than using noise as a source signal (F (1,11) = 5.6, p < 0.05). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 1538 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
