Results from previous experiments have suggested the notion that the neural information for the lateralization of brief sounds comes largely from the basal turn of the cochlea. An examination of that notion which uses stimuli at the two ears of different frequency content shows that the relation is not so simple. When stimulus clicks to the two ears are identical, then approximate simultaneity places a unitary click‐image in the center of the head; and when the stimulus click to one ear differs only moderately in frequency content from the click to the other, then a single click‐image is still heard but the stimulus click of high‐frequency content must be delivered later than the low‐frequency click in order to place the image in the center of the head. If the frequency difference is great, however, a unitary click‐image is no longer heard. Instead, the sound breaks up into two images, one of high and one of low pitch, which may be independently brought to the median plane of the head by appropriate adjustment of the interaural temporal relation of the dichotic stimuli. Current auditory theory about localization and pitch neither predicts nor accounts for the presence of two such images.
