Robert,

In addition to the test that Brian mentioned, he and I reviewed some of the
resources for this type of test in another article.  It is available from
this site http://www.rushu.rush.edu/cds/arl/Publications/BAR112.pdf

Best,

Valeriy

Subject: auditory environmental ID test

Dear list

A colleague of mine is looking for a multiple-choice auditory
environmental identification/recognition test. Does anyone know if such
a test already exists? The idea would be quite simple: subjects hear a
target sound, and have to choose from a list of, say 4 items, what might
have made the sound. I suspect many people may have created versions of
something like this, but I don't know if anyone has published a formal
version of it, with norms, etc.

If anyone knows of anything like that, please let me know.

Many thanks

Robert
