Temporal summation was studied in the European starling (Sturnus vulgaris) by using operant conditioning and the psychophysical method of constant stimuli. Auditory thresholds in quiet were determined for tones of 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz with durations of between 30 and 2000 ms, and temporal-summation functions were generated from the threshold data. Temporal summation is discussed with respect to comparative data from other vertebrates and the possible neurophysiological mechanisms
