Abstract :
The relationship between psychological performance and psychological data for human auditory frequency discrimination is addressed. Two theories had been proposed earlier to explain the data available for this task: the single-band theory and the multiband theory. By constructing neural network models of the physiological structure, the authors attempted to substantiate these theories. However, the predictions of both these theories do not correspond well with observed data. The authors formulate a new weighted-band theory, which is suggested and supported by experimental data
