| Suggests that humans do "not give absolute priority to the spatial cue" p.26 when separating sound in the audio scene because of the ability of sound to bend around corners, be attenuated by objects or to be reflected off objects. None of these affect the sound's fundamental frequency or add frequencies to the sound so it is reasonable to assume that frequency (as detected by the filtering effect of the pinnae) is a more reliable method of localisation. |

| The authors point out that the visual system is inherently spatial and that localisation of objects is critical. Conversely, while the ability to localise is of importance for the auditory system, we are able to stream audio and separate audio objects (although we can quite happily also appreciate composite sound) without the benefit of localisation cues. This is because the auditory system prioritises temporal cues. |
