Abstract

Abstract Introduction Authors whose work is too extensive to summarize here have dealt with the problem of how the threshold of hearing changes when the stimulus tone is made shorter and shorter. Much is also known about the effect of tone duration upon loudness (of which the threshold is a limiting case).

In other terms, whether, for any given set of conditions, all the energy present in a stimulus over any period of time is utilized by the ear, or whether some part of that energy is wasted.
