Detectability of sinusoidal signals at several durations was measured in the presence of sinusoidal maskers of the same frequency. Maskers were either continuous or gated on and off with the signal. For all signal durations and both types of maskers, delta I/I varied with I raised to the -0.1 power, approximately. Psychometric functions were two or three times steeper with continuous than with gated maskers. Signal duration had only a small effect that varied with the masking condition.
