Knowledge about typical source output influences perceived auditory distance

JOURNAL OF THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA, 111(5), 1980–1983.

By: J. Philbeck n & D. Mershon

MeSH headings : Environment; Models, Theoretical; Sound; Time Factors
TL;DR: Speech recordings were presented to 192 blindfolded listeners at three levels of vocal output and shouting voices were reported as appearing farthest, whispered voices closest, suggesting that auditory distance perception can be affected by past experience in a way that does not require explicit comparisons between individual stimuli.

MeSH headings : Accidents, Aviation; Adolescent; Adult; Aerospace Medicine; Analysis of Variance; Data Display; Feedback; Female; Humans; Male; Motion Perception; Sex Factors; Task Performance and Analysis

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PSYCHOLOGY, 90(1), 17–28.

By: D. Mershon & V. Lembo
