Friends, We have been studying auditory learning off and on for quite a few years. From our own data and from most of the other reports we've seen, it appears that the ordering of listeners by their performance on psychoacoustic tasks seldom changes (much) as a result of training. If you know of any data that contradict this generalization (or, to be fair, agrees with it) we would very much appreciate hearing about them. The question is rather important for the study of individual differences in auditory abilities, using large test batteries and lots of listeners. Training everyone to asymptote would make such studies nigh impossible. Best to all, Chuck Watson Indiana University -----Original Message----- From: AUDITORY Research in Auditory Perception [mailto:AUDITORY(at)LISTS.MCGILL.CA] On Behalf Of Automatic digest processor Sent: Monday, August 15, 2005 11:01 PM To: Recipients of AUDITORY digests Subject: AUDITORY Digest - 13 Aug 2005 to 15 Aug 2005 (#2005-160) There is one message totalling 68 lines in this issue.
