Modulation-interference effects require a model that disables modulation filters, not an energy-based one.

Evidence

For the diotic 730-Hz target (top left panel), the energy-based AC model predicted no change in threshold when the interferer was added. In contrast, the modulation-based AC model predicted an increase of about 5 dB when the interferer was added 30 Hz below the masker compared to the condition without interferer. For an interferer 100 Hz below the masker, threshold was about 2 dB lower than for the interferer 30 Hz below the masker. Thus, only the modulation-based AC model predicts the effect of the interferer on thresholds for the diotic 730-Hz target. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3463 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

Although this model predicted the trend for the 800-Hz target the effect was too small. For the 730-Hz target, no effect was predicted, in contrast to the data. Thus this energy-based AC model was unable to predict the effect of the interferer on the diotic thresholds. The second model assumed that modulation cues with frequencies adjacent to the beating frequency between interferer and masker could not be used for signal detection. This was realised in the modulation-based AC model by setting the output of the corresponding modulation filters to zero. This approach predicted general trends of the diotic data of the present study. Among others it predicted a larger effect of the interferer for the 800-Hz signal than for the 730-Hz target, in agreement with the data. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3494 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
