Target tone was presented alone, or mixed with the masker, which were filtered into the same bandpass frequency region （low, medium, or high） to obtain different resolvability.

文摘Fundamental frequency difference limens were measured to study whether pitch perception of medium-rank harmonic complex tones depends on the resolvability of the compo- nents and to study the effect of masker tone on discrimination performance.

There were five kinds of funda- mental frequency difference and four kinds of phase combination between target and masker.
