Evidence

Here, the term auditory model is used as a general concept, while the terms psychoacoustic model and perceptual model are used to refer to models designed to explain results of psychoacoustic experiments without paying specific attention to the physiology. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 1568
