    Un problema central en el estudio de la percepción auditiva es el de determinar las pistas utilizadas por el cerebro para ubicar fuentes sonoras. Los indicios relacionados con la percepción de la dirección del sonido (en acimut y elevación) han sido estudiados en profundidad durante el siglo pasado. Sin embargo, la percepción auditiva de distancia ha recibido menos atención por parte de los investigadores, convirtiéndose así en uno de los tópicos con mayor cantidad de interrogantes a analizar. El objetivo del presente trabajo es revisar los resultados reportados sobre este tema en la literatura desde principios de siglo XX hasta nuestros días.

    A central problem in the study of auditory perception is to identify the cues used by the brain to determine the location of sound sources. The cues associated with auditory perception of sound sources angular location (in azimuth and elevation) has been extensively studied over the past century. However, the auditory perception of sound sources distance has received less attention from researchers, making it one of the topics with the largest number of questions to be analyzed. The aim of this paper is to review the results reported in the literature on auditory distance perception from the early twentieth century to the present day.
