Modulation Detection Interference is frequency-selective in its effectiveness

Evidence

In the present contribution, we investigated two aspects of the interference effect described above. First it is known that MDI exhibits some degree of frequency selectivity (Yost et al. 1989 ). By altering the frequency offset between the interferer tone and the narrowband masker, the interference on the fixed sinusoidal signal should change, giving the largest interference effect when the frequency differences between the target and interferer are the same relative to the masker centre frequency. Secondly, we will investigate to what extent the interference effect can be modelled. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3472

• QUESTION: What model did the authors arrive at to capture the frequency selectivity of MDI interference? The chapter presumably reports this below.
