Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We describe a computational model of the precedence effect based on echo-avoidance. We propose that the precedence effect is caused by the inhibition of sound localization, which depends on the estimated sound-to-echo ratio. A pattern of the aftereffect of an impulsive sound is adopted based on the results of previous psychoacoustic experiments and used for echo estimation. Using this model, the results of psychoacoustic experiments, e.g. equal-level and unequal-level paired click tests, Haas's tests, Franssen's tests and others, can be interpreted consistently. This model can also give critera for an available onset and an explanation of why a transient onset is required for the precedence effect.
