Twenty five years ago, Bill Stebbins presented the principles of
animal psychophysics in an edited volume (Stebbins, 1970)
describing an array of modem, creative methodologies for
investigating the range of sensory systems in a variety of
vertebrate species. These principles included precise stimulus
control, a well defined behavioral response, and a rigorous
behavioral procedure appropriate to the organism under study. As a
generation of comparative sensory scientists applied these
principles, our knowledge of sensory and perceptual function in a
wide range of animal species has grown dramatically, especially in
the field of hearing. Comparative psychoacoustics, i. e. , the
study of the hearing capabilities in animals using behavioral
methods, is an area of animal psychophysics that has seen
remarkable advances in methodology over the past 25 years. Acoustic
stimuli are now routinely generated using digital methods providing
the researcher with unprecedented possibilities for stimulus
control and experimental design. The strategies and paradigms for
data collection and analysis are becoming more refined as well,
again due in large part to the widespread use of computers. In this
volume, the reader will find a modem array of strategies designed
to measure detection and discrimination of both simple and complex
acoustic stimuli as well experimental designs to assess how
organisms perceive, identify and classify acoustic stimuli.
Refinements in modem methodologies now make it possible to compare
diverse species tested under similar, if not identical,
experimental conditions.
