THE USE OF AUDITORY FEEDBACK IN SIMPLE REMOTE-HANDLING TASKS,
Abstract
A study was conducted to investigate the effect of auditory feedback upon performance of a remote handling task. Forty-five subjects, divided into three groups of 15 subjects each, used a Central Research Laboratory's model 8 master-slave manipulator to perform a simple remote handling task. One group performed the task under a no-sound condition; the second performed under a white-noise-only condition; the third group was provided with task-relevant auditory information. The results of this study suggest that, in the operation of this manipulator, supplementing visual, tactual, and proprioceptive information with task-relevant auditory information had little or no effect on performing simple remote handling tasks.
