LISTENER PERFORMANCE AS A FUNCTION OF LISTENING TIME FOR VARIOUS SIGNAL-TO-NOISE CONDITIONS,
Abstract
Listener reception was evaluated, with respect to values earned at the end of eight cumulative time intervals during an hour of continuous testing, for several signal-to-noise conditions. The noise was babel, prepared by superimposing two voices on a single recording. Mean values of listener reception did not follow the same trend for each listening condition. As the signal-to-noise ratio was decreased, a temporary decrement in listener reception followed after approximately one-half hour of listening. This decrement became more pronounced and more lasting as the signal-to-noise ratio was decreased. (Author)
