Editorial Reviews

Werner and Marean, both of the University of Washington, provide information on the development of human hearing using electrophysiological, psychophysical, and to a lesser degree, anatomical methods. Topics include: early functional and structural development of the nonhuman auditory system, absolute sensitivity, other response properties, and effects of experience.
