Table 4. Mapping clusters to spectral cue fidelity. For clusters, refer to Figure 3.
| Clusters | Behavioral Profile (current study) | Baumgartner Model Mapping (Baumgartner et al., 2014) |
Inferred Spectral Cue Fidelity |
| C1 (35.29%) |
Equally accurate on top/bottom and front/back identification tasks | The model predicts strong spectral-template matching + low uncertainty → sharp localization | High-fidelity cues across the full spectrum |
| C2 (33.33%) |
Normal front–back; poor top/bottom identification tasks | Fails top/bottom tasks when corresponding spectral-template matching is unreliable | Degraded top-bottom elevation-band cues (~6–11 kHz) (Hebrank and Wright, 1974) |
| C3 (31.37%) |
Normal top-bottom; many front–back confusions | Fails front/back when corresponding spectral-template matching is unreliable | Degraded cues for front/back distinction (likely mid/high frequencies) (Hebrank and Wright, 1974; Middlebrooks and Green, 1991) |
