Now available in a sixth edition, An Introduction to the Psychology
of Hearing is the leading textbook in the field of auditory
perception, also known as psychoacoustics.The textbook's longevity
and loyal readership can be attributed to the accessible manner in
which it describes the relationships between the characteristics of
the sounds that enter the ear and the sensations that they produce.
Wherever possible, the author has specified these relationships in
terms of the underlying mechanisms. The intention is to impart an
understanding of what the auditory system does and how it works:
research results are not just described, but are interpreted and
evaluated; knowledge is not assumed, but deduced from basic
principles. Topics covered include the physics of sound, the
physiology of the auditory system, frequency selectivity and
masking, loudness perception, temporal analysis, pitch perception,
sound localization, timbre perception, the perceptual organization
of complex auditory 'scenes', speech perception, and practical
applications such as hearing aids, cochlear implants, and
high-fidelity sound reproduction. The book also includes extensive
references to recent research so that those interested in a
specific area can readily obtain more detailed information. The new
edition of An Introduction to the Psychology of Hearing has been
thoroughly updated. New sections have been added covering
perceptual methods of estimating basilar-membrane compression,
informational masking of non-speech and speech sounds, experiments
and theories concerning pitch perception, and the perception of
speech in complex auditory environments. *This title was originally
published by Emerald with ISBN 9781780520384
