Report on Training Studies in Voice Communication: 2. The Use of Noise in A Training Program

Abstract

Three experiments were conducted to improve the training in intelligible voice communication in military aircraft. Work-intelligibility test were administered both before and after training. The data obtained showed that some practice and experience in speaking and listening in noise is advantageous and that it is possible to give this experience in too large amounts. The manner in which the noise is used and its distribution throughout the total practice make a difference in the effectiveness of training. Noise produced electrically within the interphone system can be used without considerable loss in effectiveness of training.
