Causal inference in environmental sound recognition

2020-07-13

Abstract excerpt

Sound is caused by physical events in the world. Do humans infer these causes when recognizing sound sources? We tested whether the recognition of common environmental sounds depends on the inference of a basic physical variable – the source intensity (i.e., the power that produces a sound). A source’s intensity can be inferred from the intensity it produces at the ear and its distance, which is normally conveyed...
