| Abstract(in English) | This study aims to investigate characteristics of temporal integration for the auditory processing of size information. In this paper, we measured listeners' speaker-size discrimination using acoustically scaled vowels. The experimental results showed the discrimination performance largely improved when the vowel duration increased from 16 ms to 32 ms, while the performance did not show the large effects of duration when the duration was longer than 32 ms. This finding suggests that an integration window of around 32 ms influences on the size processing in the auditory system. The similar performance deterioration for 16-ms vowels was observed in vowel identification experiment, although the degree of deterioration was different by the driving source and frequency of vowels. |
