Voice discrimination and recognition are separate abilities

Neuropsychologia, 1987
Studies of brain-damaged subjects indicate that recognizing a familiar voice and discriminating among unfamiliar voices may be selectively impaired, and thus that the two are separate functions. Familiar voice recognition was impaired in cases of damage to the right (but not the left) hemisphere, while impaired unfamiliar voice discrimination was ...

Personality Discriminants of Cognitive Perception Abilities

The Journal of Psychology, 1976
Discriminant analyses, using California Psychological Inventory scores, age, and Miller Analogies Test scores, were run on groups of graduate students in counselor training who were high or low on perceptual-cognitive tasks. Twenty male and 23 female Ss watched videotaped sessions in which each of two male and two female expressors talked for three ...

Auditory Temporal Pattern Discrimination and Reading Ability

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2004
The relation between reading ability and performance on an auditory temporal pattern discrimination task was investigated in children who were either good or delayed readers. The stimuli in the primary task consisted of sequences of tones, alternating between high and low frequencies.

Frequency-Discrimination Ability of Hearing-Impaired Listeners

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1981
Thresholds for frequency modulation were measured by an adaptive, two-alternative, forced-choice method with ten listeners: eight who showed varying degrees of sensorineural hearing impairment, and two with normal-hearing sensitivity. Results for test frequencies spaced at octave intervals between 125 and 4000 Hz showed that, relative to normal-hearing

Cat's Ability to Discriminate Oblique Rectangles

Science, 1963
Cats were trained to discriminate either between a horizontal and vertical rectangle or between two oblique rectangles, one at 45°, the other at 13° to horizontal. All animals were first trained with both shapes (one in each orientation) presented together, and then retrained with only one shape shown at a time.

Classification of abnormal children: Discrimination learning ability

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1980
Large individual differences exist among psychotic and retarded children, and a procedure that would enable classification of discrimination learning ability would be of value. A procedure designed to assess the discrimination learning thresholds of low-functioning children is described. A performance index (PI) that reflects accuracy of discriminative

Discriminative Ability of a Parasitoid

Nature, 1936
IN a previous communication1, Dr. Salt and Miss Laing asserted that individual females of Trichogramma evanescens avoid host eggs which have already received the attention of other individuals of the same species. In the experiment described, a parasite was allowed to walk on, but not to parasitise, some host eggs.

The Assessment of Pitch Discrimination Ability in Young Children

Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, 1977
This study tested the hypothesis that some tasks used in assessing pitch discrimination ability may instead be assessing children’s ability to deal with relational language. Five tasks were given to 36 normal children who were equally divided into three age groups, six to six and one-half years, seven to seven and one-half years, and eight to eight and
