SENSORY BEHAVIOR OF NAVAL PERSONNEL: MONAURAL/BINAURAL MINIMUM AUDIBLE ANGLE OF AUDITORY RESPONSE

Abstract

The paper considers what one ear contributes to man's perception of the auditory world and evaluates the monaural/binaural role in spatial orientation. Minimum audible angles were determined for monaural listening to moving sounds, and results were compared to similarly obtained binaural data. The findings are related to a review of facts and theories of sound localization by man.
