Popis: Auditory motion aftereffects of approaching and withdrawing sound sources were investigated in the free field. The approaching and withdrawing of a sound source were simulated by means of differently directed changes in the amplitude of impulses of broadband noise (from 20 Hz to 20 kHz) through two loudspeakers placed 1.1 and 4.5 m away from the listener. Presentation of the adapting approaching and withdrawing stimuli changed the perception of test signals following them: a stationary test signal was perceived by listeners as moving in the direction opposite to one of the movement of the adapting stimulus, whereas a test stimulus slowly moving in same direction as the adapting signal was perceived as stationary. The specific features of the auditory aftereffect of signals moving in a radial direction were similar to those of sound sources moving in a horizontal plane.
