TABLE II.

Mean parameters of the psychometric function fits for the different spatial configurations, averaged across subjects (across-subject standard error of the mean is shown in round brackets). The upper asymptote of performance is higher for spatially separated sources than for co-located sources, but no other differences are significant. (A) Estimates of α, the TMR at the midpoint of the dynamic range in the psychometric function. (B) Estimates of 1β, the slope of the psychometric function at the midpoint of the dynamic range. (C) Estimates of 1λ, the upper asymptote of the functions.
