Gender differences in loudness perception may be linguistically influenced

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal, 2019
Previous studies have reported gender differences in loudness perception. To clarify factors that affect loudness perception of men and women, so that differences in their processing of auditory stimuli might be revealed, we conducted four experiments ...

Loudness, but not shot power, influences simple reaction times to soccer penalty sounds [PDF]

open access: yesPsihologija, 2018
Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate how ecological sport sounds (i.e., foot-ball impacts of soccer penalty kicks) affect simple reaction times.

BINAURAL ADDITIVITY OF LOUDNESS [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, 1972
A definition of binaural additivity is given in terms of the theory of simultaneous conjoint measurement. Additivity is then tested and verified by a conjoint measurement procedure. Methods for deriving psychophysical scales from such procedures are discussed, and the experimental scales are compared with the usual ratio scales for loudness, derived ...

Neural Representation of Loudness: Cortical Evoked Potentials in an Induced Loudness Reduction Experiment

open access: yesTrends in Hearing, 2020
Loudness context effects comprise differences in judgments of the loudness of a target stimulus depending on the presence of a preceding inducer tone. Interstimulus intervals (ISIs) between inducer tone and target tone of about 200 ms and above cause an ...

Toward an Individual Binaural Loudness Model for Hearing Aid Fitting and Development

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2021
The individual loudness perception of a patient plays an important role in hearing aid satisfaction and use in daily life. Hearing aid fitting and development might benefit from individualized loudness models (ILMs), enabling better adaptation of the ...

Testing spatial aspects of auditory salience [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Auditory salience describes the extent to which sounds attract the listener’s attention. So far, there have not been any published studies testing if the location of sound relative to the listener influences its salience. In fact, not many experiments in

The jet-disc connection: evidence for a reinterpretation in radio loud and radio quiet active galactic nuclei [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
To constrain models of the jet-disc connection, we explore Eddington ratios reported in Foschini (2011) and interpret them in relation to the values in Sikora et al.

A comparison of feedback cues for enhancing pointing efficiency in interaction with spatial audio displays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
An empirical study that compared six different feedback cue types to enhance pointing efficiency in deictic spatial audio displays is presented. Participants were asked to select a sound using a physical pointing gesture, with the help of a loudness cue,
