Our ability to segregate two groups of harmonics that occupy the same frequency region depends on whether or not the harmonics in each group are resolved by the peripheral auditory system. Tasks requiring listeners to segregate the two sounds yield good performance when the harmonics in each group are resolved from each other, even when they are unresolved from some of the components in the other group. In contrast, when the harmonics in each group are unresolved, listeners are very poor at segregating the two sounds. Experiments are described which reveal the types of processing employed in these two situations.
