Psychoacoustical Studies of the Sense of Hearing in the Goldfish using Conditioned Respiratory Suppression

  • Chapter
Methods in Comparative Psychoacoustics

Part of the book series: BioMethods ((BIOMETHODS))

  • 177 Accesses

Summary

The methods used and some illustrative data from studies on hearing in the goldfish using classical conditioning of respiratory suppression are presented. Three psychophysical methods, and numerous psychoacoustical experimental designs are discussed. Presented in detail are: 1) A psychophysical study on level discrimination using the magnitude of respiratory suppression as if it were a confidence rating, and 2) A study of the perception of temporal acoustic patterns using a respiratory suppression in a stimulus generalization paradigm.
