Within-stream pattern comparisons are easier than between-stream comparisons in auditory streaming
Evidence
It is also known that within-stream (within-pattern) comparisons are far easier to make than between stream comparisons; (e.g. (Bregman 1990 ; Micheyl and Oxenham 2010 )). Therefore, we hypothesized that if the standard pattern satisfied Gestalt grouping principles and could thus be more easily grouped, this would facilitate pattern comparisons, and that deviations within such patterns would be easier to detect. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 5269
