Suppressor duration windows distinguish MOCR-mediated gain from cochlear mechanics.

Evidence

Masker durations were 20 (short) and 70 ms (long). The 20-ms masker should be too short to elicit the MOCR, while the 70-ms masker should be long enough to elicit full gain reduction from MOCR elicitation (Roverud and Strickland 2010 ). … Gain was estimated as the difference in threshold between the on-frequency masker and the 1.2-kHz masker (Yasin et al. 2014 ). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 931

Categorization

• DEFINE: Clarifies the MOCR (medial olivocochlear reflex) timing window: 20 ms too short, 70 ms long enough for full gain reduction.
• XREF: Relates to the reader’s central question of physiological mechanisms behind psychophysical suppression estimates.
