Subject: Happy/Sad BMLD cartoon

I am curious about the history of the cartoon which denotes the different
stimulus configurations and the corresponding performance used in studies of
binaural masking level differences. I did a quick web search for an example:
http://drgeorgethomas.com/images/successpicture2.jpg

This one looks like the version in Moore's book. My guess is Moore's artwork
was original, but that he did not come up with the concept.

I am curious as to who first conceptualize the BMLD with happy and sad
faces.

Thank you
Dan

Dan,

I think the original can be found in Dave Green's Introduction to =
Hearing.
Those of us in the lab at the time found it to be out of place with the =
book
as a whole because the book was pretty rigorous.  I have always wanted =
to do
a version where the face looked like Dave, but then I would need to do
something binaural to justify use of the figure.
