Figure 7. Results from Experiment 10 (Exclusion of foreground sounds from texture integration).

Figure 7

(A) The step stimulus for the background condition was composed of 3 segments with different statistics, creating steps 2s and 1s from the endpoint of the step interval. The grouping of the second segment with the other two was manipulated by increasing the level of the second segment by 12dB (indicated by thicker line in the Foreground schematic). The level increment caused the second segment to be heard as a distinct foreground sound, “behind” which the other segments perceptually completed. (B) Results for Background and Foreground step conditions. Shaded regions show SEM of individual data points obtained via bootstrap and solid lines plot logistic function fits. (C) Difference between points of subjective equality for the two step directions for the two conditions (with bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals).
