Interval-adjustment precision declines sharply at 10 kHz
Evidence
By comparison, the SDs observed by Burns and Feth ( 1983 ) for the same musical interval adjustments were on average 1.2 % and 4.2 % for 1-kHz and 10-kHz 70-dB SPL reference tones, respectively. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 5408

- QUESTION: Why does precision drop so steeply at 10 kHz in Burns & Feth? Possibly place-coding degradation in high-frequency regions — worth chasing.
