Acoustic‐Image Lateralization Judgments with Binaural Transients

Experiments on the extent of lateralization of sound images established by the binaural interaction of clicks with clicks or click pairs are reported. It is shown that two images formed by the interaction of a click with each member of a click pair can be readily identified. It is argued that studying the trajectory of judged image position as a function of interaural time delay clarifies certain aspects of the perception of acoustic transients, and a range of typical results with the technique is shown.
