Document Summary
When you perceive objects located at different positions based on their sounds, you are experiencing auditory space. Auditory localization: feats of locating objects in space based on their sound. Itd and ild together we see that they complement each other. Itd and ild provide information that enable people to judge location along the azimuth coordinate, but provide ambiguous information about the elevation of a sound. These places of ambiguity are illustrated by the cone of confusion. Monaural cue a cue that depends on information from only one ear only. Primary monaural cue for localization is called spectral cue because the information for localization is contained in differences in the distribution (or spectrum) of frequencies that reach the ear from different locations. These difference are caused by the fact that before the sound stimulus enters the auditory canal, it is reflected from the head and within the various folds of the pinnae.
