Document Summary

Auditory space percepion of where sounds are located in space o. Extends around a listener"s head in all direcions, exising wherever there is a sound. Auditory localizaion percepion of the locaion of a sound source. Locaion cues characterisic of the sound reaching the listener that provide info regarding locaion of a sound source. Diference in when a sound reaches the let and right ears. Itd becomes larger the more it"s to one side. Itd is an efecive cue for locaion of low-frequency sounds. Diference in sound pressure level of the sound reaching the two ears. Diference happens because the head makes a barrier that reduces intensity of sounds that reach the far ear. Acousic shadow created by head that decreases the level of high-frequency sounds on the opposite side of the head o. They give info to judge locaion along azimuth coordinate o. Gives ambiguous info about elevaion of a sound source.
