Abstract
The functioning of the auditory system can be described as performing with a certain time constant, a frequency analysis of the incoming signals. Such an analysis means that frequency selectivity and time resolution are closely linked. It has led in practice to the use of narrow-band signals for the determination of the frequency selectivity and of wide-band signals (noise or clicks) for the determination of the temporal acuity. The use of suchs signals avoids the interactions as much as possible and makes it difficult to determine the effects of frequency selectivity and temporal resolution on each other.
