Abstract

The characteristics of hearing in the dolphinTursiops truncatus were investigated by the method of motor-feeding conditioned reflexes under conditions of frequency — time signal indeterminancy with background noise. It was shown that the effectiveness of auditory detection of tone-pulse signals is invariant with respect to Doppler and shift signal transformations, while the number of waves is a characteristic parameter of the auditory system.
