Abstract
Phenomena such as critical bands, temporal integration, and lateralization have been studied extensively in man. The procedures used to study these phenomena and the data that have been obtained form a significant part of the foundation of mammalian psychoacoustical theory. It is not surprising, then, that these phenomena have been investigated in other animals in order to compare modes of auditory processing across species and to add to our knowledge of auditory functioning.
