Abstract

An experiment was conducted in which listeners made CW/CCW (clockwise or counterclockwise) auditory motion direction in three conditions that differed in location of the listeners who were either centered within the circular array of speakers or were positioned one foot ahead of center or one foot behind. Analysis of the data revealed that a relatively small change of a listener's position within a circular array can reverse the perceived direction of auditory motion.
