Stereo Audio Temporal Order Judgment

This task assesses temporal order perception for auditory stimuli presented in stereo. Participants hear brief sounds presented to the left and right audio channels with varying onset asynchronies and must judge which channel (left or right) played first. The task tests the temporal resolution of the auditory system and the ability to process timing information across spatial locations. It requires participants to make fine temporal discriminations, with performance measured by accuracy and the minimum time difference needed to reliably judge temporal order. This task is useful for studying auditory temporal processing, effects of aging on temporal acuity, and differences in processing speed across sensory modalities.
