Abstract(in English) In this paper, we report a series of studies on auditory attention in intensity discrimination of pure tones (Futakuchi & Mori,1999; Mori & Ward, 1991,1992; Ward & Mori, 1996). In a one-interval-forced-choice task, we measured attentional effects on intensity discrimination, by presenting freqency cues before the pure-tone signals. The results are summarized as follows; (1) Cue tones direct the listener's attention to the signal freqency, resulting in improvement of intensity resolution; (2) Visual cues are effective only for musicians; (3) Presenting signal and cue tones to contralateral ears does not change attentional effects; (4) Attentional effects occur between 200 and 2000 msec after the cue tones.
