Auditory temporal processing can be defined as the perception of sound or of the alteration of sound within a restricted or defined time domain. Many say that temporal processing is the underlying component of most auditory processing capabilities.
Temporal masking is the threshold shift of one sound in the presence of other subsequent stimuli. This occurs when a stimulus, generally a tone, is presented with duration and intensity sufficient to reduce the sensitivity of a stimulus presented either before or after the initial stimulus.
