Looming Signals Reveal Synergistic Principles of Multisensory Integration (2012, background): “It is also noteworthy that looming cues can indicate both potential threats/collisions and success in acquiring sought-after objects/goals (Schiff et al., 1962; Schiff, 1965; Neuhoff, 1998, 2001; Ghazanfar et al., 2002; Seifritz et al., 2002; Graziano and Cooke, 2006).”
The Evolution of Accuracy and Bias in Social Judgment (2004, background): “When people try to estimate the time of approaching sounds, they tend to underestimate the time of arrival, whereas when sounds move away, their estimates are unbiased (Neuhoff, 2001).”
The subtleties of error management (2010, background): “As Haselton and Nettle point out, when some object making a sound is approaching, and one needs to prepare for the arrival of the object, estimating an arrival time that is systematically too early is better than a time that is systematically too late (Neuhoff, 2001).”
The Evolution of Cognitive Bias (2015, background): “In a series of experiments involving speakers moving on cables, people showed biased perceptions of the proximity of moving sound sources, as well as a general tendency to underestimate the distance of sound sources (Neuhoff, 2001).”
Selective integration of auditory-visual looming cues by humans. (2009, unknown): “…to looming signals to be an evolved capacity (Ghazanfar, Neuhoff, & Logothetis, 2002; Graziano & Cooke, 2006; Maier, Chandrasekaran, & Ghazanfar, 2008; Maier, Neuhoff, Logothetis, & Ghazanfar, 2004; Neuhoff, 1998, 2001; Schiff, 1965; Schiff, Caviness, & Gibson, 1962; Seifritz et al., 2002).”
The Paranoid Optimist: An Integrative Evolutionary Model of Cognitive Biases (2006, background): “In a series of psychoacoustical experiments involving speakers moving on cables, Neuhoff and colleagues demonstrate that sounds rising in intensity are perceived as approaching faster than matched sounds that are falling in intensity (see Neuhoff, 2001, for a review).”
