Spectral cues in localization of auditory information
Spectral cues give information about elevation (vertical location) of the soun. Varying binaural cues and spectral filtering of natural sound allow a person or animal to believe/identify a sound coming from a particular point in space.
This is important for acoustics or identifying sounds and who is tonally off in an orchestra.

Spectral cues in localization of auditory information
A person finds it much more difficult to pinpoint the exact location of a sound source when it is positioned directly in front of, behind, or above them, compared to when it is off to one side. Based on the principles of auditory localization, what is the most accurate explanation for this phenomenon?
