Peripheral frequency resolution shapes performance on both temporal-structure tasks.

Evidence

It has been argued that (intermediately) resolved frequency components of the SSMC could contribute to the performance of the TIME task (Micheyl et al. 2010 ). Peripheral frequency resolution could influence the representation of interaural correlation across a frequency axis, which is the basis for the Huggins pitch. Indeed, ERB was significantly correlated with thresholds for the TIME and HUGGINS tasks (ERB-TIME: r = 0.30, p = 0.047; ERB-HUGGINS: r = 0.35, p = 0.050; the effects of age were not partialled out). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 1026
