Sound source segregation Development of the ability to separate concurrent sounds into auditory objects

The problem… TIME FREQUENCY Wow! Psychophysics is interesting!

Cues that adults use to segregate components into sources Spectral separation Spectral profile Harmonicity Spatial separation Temporal separation Temporal onsets and offsets Temporal modulations

Measuring sound source segregation Auditory streaming “Thresholds” of sounds, segregated and not segregated Informational masking (indirect evidence)

Auditory streaming

A single sound source is perceived

Two sound sources are perceived

Auditory streaming in infants How many streams that time?

Auditory streaming in infants

Configuration 3/1 Configuration 2/2

Electrophysiological measures of streaming in newborns

Auditory streaming in children

Another way to look at auditory streaming in children

Electrophysiological measures of streaming in children

Conclusion Infants and children form “auditory streams.”

Thresholds of sound, segregated and not segregated Spatial cues Synchronized visual information

Masking level difference The MLD is the improvement in audibility that results from dichotic listening N= noise, S = signal Monotic = one ear (m) Diotic = 2 ears, same sound in both (0) Dichotic = 2 ears, different sound in each (π) Modified from Gelfand (1998)

Visual information improves speech in speech recognition in infants

Testing whether children can segregate speech from speech Ready Baron go to Blue 3 now Ready Ringo go to Red 5 now

Visual information doesn’t improve speech in speech recognition in children

Conclusions Infants and children are more sensitive to sounds that can be segregated from competing sounds, although infants show less benefit of segregation cues. Under simple conditions, even 3-year-olds can use segregation cues as well as adults. Under complex conditions, even 10-year-olds do not use segregation cues as well as adults.

Using temporal cues to reduce informational masking

Summary and conclusions Infants and children can segregate sound sources, using the same acoustic cues that adults use. In simple situations, children, but not infants, can segregate sound sources as well as adults. In complex situations, sound source segregation may not be mature until well into the school years.
