Abstract

Tanner and Rivette [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 36, 1465--1467 (1964)] reported that three native speakers of Punjabi were unable to discriminate frequency differences an order of magnitude greater than the usual DL's for frequency. This paper is often cited as evidence for culture-bound effects in frequency discrimination. We obtained frequency DL estimates from 34 observers comprising a number of linguistic groups, including Punjabi. No evidence of disability in frequency discrimination was found in any of the groups.

摘要

坦纳和里维特[《美国声学学会杂志》36, 1465 - 1467 (1964)]报告称，三名旁遮普语母语者无法辨别比通常频率辨别阈限大一个数量级的频率差异。这篇论文常被引为频率辨别中文化束缚效应的证据。我们从包括旁遮普语使用者在内的多个语言群体的34名观察者那里获得了频率辨别阈限的估计值。在任何一个群体中都未发现频率辨别存在障碍的证据。
