| How is an equal loudness contour developed? |
|
Definition
| A matching procedure is performed in which the loudness of different frequencies are matched th that of a 1000Hz reference tone at a particular loudness. The intensity level for different frequencies is adjusted until they sound equally loud. |

| Pitch is considered to be the correlate of what? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A unit of pitch, equal to one-thousandth of the pitch of a simple tone whose frequency is 1000 hertz and whose loudness is 40 decibels above a listener's threshold. |
