Subject: Re: auditory environmental ID test From: Brian Gygi <bgygi@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2006 13:07:45 -0700Hi Robert, There is such a test, the Familiar Sounds Recognition Test, part of the Test of Basic Auditory Abilities, developed at Indiana University by Chuck Watson, Gary Kidd and myself. It tests the identification of 25 common environmental sounds at six different S/N in a 3AFC format. It has been run on over 300 people so norms are available and it has been shown to have good reliability. Contact Chuck at watson@xxxxxxxx or Gary at kidd@xxxxxxxx for a copy of the materials. The results have been written up and submitted for review.
