Overview

Passive listening reveals that global probability influences auditory prediction more than conditional rules.

Key Points

This research aims to understand how different types of auditory deviants affect prediction in the auditory system.
Participants listened to sound sequences designed using a modified oddball paradigm with varying deviant probabilities.
An active detection task was used to evaluate behavioral responses to auditory deviants and standards.
Passive listening examined MMN and P3a responses to deviations in global and conditional probabilities.
In active tasks, predictive information from deviants influenced participant responses, showing sensitivity to conditional probability.
In passive listening, only responses to global probability violations were observed, with minimal sensitivity to conditional probability.
Response time effects increased throughout the task for actively engaged participants.
