We will be looking at the early learning tasks (sight reading, problem solving, problematic note sequences and rhythms) and then comparing these to the ability to multitask after the typical synthesis, chunking, and memorization that enable smooth performance. Any references, even tangental, would be helpful. I have collected several, but I'm sure I'm overlooking a treasure trove that our brain trust knows all about.

(1954) Psychometric Methods especially Chapt. 7 Torgerson, W.S (1958) Theory and Methods of Scaling Those should be enough to start you off. Let me know if you have any other questions. -Geoff At 02:45 PM 3/18/2003 +0000, ZL Handley wrote: Hi I am currently evaluating the use of speech synthesis for computer- assisted language learning. I want to do some percetual tests using the paired comparison technique. I understand the basic technique but have not found any information on how to analyse the results of such tests. I was wondering whether anyone could point me to an article or text book that would explain how to do this.
