Re: AUDITORY Digest - 12 Aug 2007 to 13 Aug 2007 (#2007-181)



Christian,

We did a little study in '73 that was somewhat relevant to your
question, although our approach was not to combine forced-choice and
ratings.  Instead we allowed the listener in a 2AFC task to respond
"uncertain" when she couldn't be sure.  Then we manipulated their
criteria for using the uncertain response, through instructions, causing
them to use it from 0-75% of the time.  Treating the data as though from
a 3 pt rating scale, d' was essentially independent of their use of the
uncertain response. 

Watson, C.S., Kellogg, S.C., Kawanishi, D.T. and Lucas, P.A. (1973).
The uncertain response in detection-oriented psychophysics.  J. Exp.
Psychol., 99, 180 185.

Hope that is of some help,

Chuck

Subject: forced-choice

Dear List,

I am looking for references demonstrating that participants in a
forced-choice experiment, given the possibility to rate the confidence
of their forced choice, show better-than-random answers even at their
lowest confidence rating (which might be labeled "I guessed completely
because I did not know"). If I remember correctly this has been quite
enthusiastically studied in the 70ies, in terms of implicit and explicit
knowledge.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Hello Yinqiu Gao,

There are two software packages available to assist with morphing,
STRAIGHT by Hideki Kawahara and PRATT by Peter Boersma.

In the hands of Kawahara-san, STRAIGHT produces astoundingly good
morphing.

Subject: Effect of duration on noise discrimination

Dear list,

Can anyone point me to additional references regarding duration 
dependencies in noise discrimination? So far I've found the following 
papers containing such duration dependencies:

Hanna, Thomas E.
"Discrimination of reproducible noise as a function of bandwidth and 
duration"
Perception and Psychophysics, 1984, 36 (5), p. 409-416


Heller, Laurie M and Trahiotis, Constantine
"The discrimination of samples of noise in monotic, diotic, and dichotic

conditions"
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1995, 97 (6), p. 3775-3781

Fallon, Suzan M.
"Discriminability of bursts of reproducible noise"
Dissertation  - Indiana University, 1998

All publications with noiselike stimuli, and especially Gaussian noise, 
that measured discrimination ability as a function of time are very much

appreciated.

Thanks in advance and kind regards,

Tom Goossens
