A positive reinforcement conditioning procedure was used to train chinchillas to respond to intensity differences between successively occurring tone bursts. Intensity difference limens were measured at 0.5, 1, 4, and 8 kHz at five intensities ranging from 10- to 55-dB sensation level. The intensity difference limen decreased from approximately 8 dB near threshold to approximately 3.5 dB at the highest level. The intensity difference limens for the chinchilla were considerably larger than those for humans as well as several other mammals; however, the results were similar to those obtained for the parakeet. The present results from intensity discrimination appeared to be related to previous data for the discrimination of amplitude modulated noise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
