The role of frequency and informational cues in the detection of tones of uncertain frequency was investigated using the probe-signal method [G.Z. Greenberg and W.D. Larkin, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 44, 1513-1523 (1968)] with auditory and visual test patterns. Patterns consisted of a sequence of events, either tones or visual stimuli, preceding the tone to be detected. Both frequency and informational cues were available in the auditory patterns, whereas only informational cues were available in the visual patterns. Results indicated that observers in the auditory condition displayed trial-by-trial selective attention to one or another frequency band as a function of the cues provided by earlier pattern components. In contrast, listeners in the visual condition displayed simultaneous attention to the two separate frequency bands that could possibly contain the tone, regardless of the information provided by the cues. Results are discussed in terms of single- and multiple-band models of attention.
使用探测信号法[G.Z.格林伯格和W.D.拉金，《美国声学学会杂志》44, 1513 - 1523 (1968)]，通过听觉和视觉测试模式，研究了频率和信息线索在不确定频率音调检测中的作用。模式由一系列事件组成，这些事件在待检测音调之前出现，事件可以是音调或视觉刺激。在听觉模式中，频率和信息线索都存在，而在视觉模式中只有信息线索。结果表明，在听觉条件下的观察者会根据早期模式成分提供的线索，逐次对一个或另一个频段进行选择性注意。相比之下，在视觉条件下的听者会同时注意两个可能包含该音调的独立频段，而不管线索提供的信息如何。根据单频段和多频段注意模型对结果进行了讨论。
