The Width of the Auditory Filter in Children.

Irwin, R. J.; And Others

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v41 n3 p429-42 Jun 1986

Because young children have poorer auditory temporal resolution than older children, a study measured the auditory filters of two 6-year-olds, two 10-year-olds, and two adults by having them detect a 400-ms sinusoid centered in a spectral notch in a band of noise. (HOD)
