Human Engineer's Guide to Auditory Displays. Volume 2. Elements of Signal Reception and Resolution Affecting Auditory Displays.

Abstract

This work reviews the areas of monaural and binaural signal detection, auditory discrimination and localization, and reaction times to acoustic signals. The review was written from the perspective of human engineering and focuses primarily on auditory processing of information contained in acoustic signals. The impetus for this effort was to establish a data base to be utilized in the design and evaluation of acoustic displays. Appendix I also contains citations of the scientific literature on which was based the answers to each question. There are nineteen questions and answers, and more than two hundred citations contained in the list of references given in Appendix II. This is one of two related works, the other of which reviewed the literature in the areas of auditory attention, recognition memory, and auditory perception of patterns, pitch, and loudness.
