Questions
1. What is the Stenger Effect?
given a tone in each ear, a listener will lateralize to the ear with higher frequency
given a tone in each ear, a listener will lateralize to the ear with earliest time of arrival
given a tone in each ear, a listener will lateralize to the ear with lower frequency
given a tone in each ear, a listener will lateralize to the ear with higher amplitude
2. is the study of the relationship between the physical world and the perceptual world for hearing.
None of the other choices is correct.
Psychoacoustics
Psychophysics
Psychosocial
3. Sensitivity is:
assessed when a person is asked to compare the relative loudness of two acoustic stimuli
a property of a test
a property of an organism (that is, a listener)
usually impaired when thresholds are judged as "within normal limits"
4. What is a similarity between a phon and a sone?
Each uses the same anchor stimulus (1000 Hz at 40 dB SPL)
All of the other responses are correct
Each was the scientific of an engineer named Fletcher
Each attempts to make some judgment concerning the perception of amplitude of a signal
5. What is a sone?
unit of pitch perception
unit of amplitude
unit of loudness
unit of auditory integration time
6. When Theory of Signal Detection principles are applied to the analysis of test performance, what is test sensitivity?
the probability that the test inaccurately identifies persons with the disorder as not having the disorder
the probability that the test correctly identifies persons without the disorder as not having the disorder
the probability that the test inaccurately identifies persons without the disorder as having the disorder
the probability that the test correctly identifies persons with a disorder as having that disorder
7. According to the Theory of Signal Detection, what is one way to increase the total number of "hits"?
change the frequency of your radio station
provide a "loose" set of instructions
provide a "strict" set of instructions
decrease stimulus strength
8. When applied to human sensation and perception, sensitivity is:
a property of a test
usually impaired when thresholds are judged as "within normal limits"
a property of an organism (that is, a listener)
assessed when a person is asked to compare the relative loudness of two acoustic stimuli
9. What is this? The loudness of a 1000 Hz tone at 40 dB SPL as judged by a listener with normal hearing.
a. 1 phon
b. 100 phons
c. 10 sones
d. 1 sone
10. What is the relationship between sensitivity and threshold?
a. someone with good sensitivity would have a threshold with a low amount of stimulus
b. someone with poor sensitivity would have a threshold with a low amount of stimulus
c. someone with good sensitivity would have a threshold with a high amount of stimulus
d. all of the other responses are correct.
