| Sumario: | The writer discusses auditory perception, which she argues can occur passively, in the absence of goal-directed behavior, or in the service of a cognitive task, such as sound discrimination and interpretation. She considers neural representations of auditory information and maintains that auditory perception is extensively and solidly affected by auditory experience, particularly repetition and familiarity. Furthermore, she presents functional brain images representing significant changes in regional cerebral blood flow between particular behavioral conditions. |
