    Example model trial from Experiment 1

    Listen to the mixture clip and choose which option is part of the mixture. The correct answer may either be the exact sound or a computer imitation of the sound present in the clip.

    Example trial from Experiment 2

    If any part of a row sound matches part of a column sound, check the corresponding box.

    The row sounds may not be perfect imitations of the column sounds, but choose the best matches.

    The correct answer has one or more checkmarks in each row.

    Multiple row sounds may match to the same column sound or vice versa. A column sound might not have any matches.
