Subject: Re: [AUDITORY] Environmental sound database for memory studies From: Valeriy Shafiro <firosha@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2020 12:26:28 -0500--0000000000007ddd9c05ac24ae4b Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Nadia, Here are some references that may help you find what you are looking for. There have been quite a few environmental sound research projects in recent years including some focused on memory and cognition, so I am sure there is more...

Confrontation Naming of Environmental Sounds. http://doi.org/10.1076/jcen.22.6.830.949 Hocking J, Dzafic I, Kazovsky M, Copland DA (2013) NESSTI: Norms for Environmental Sound Stimuli.

Behav Res 50, 1415=E2=80=931429 (2018). https://doi.org/10.3758/s13428-018-1027-6 There is also a set of stimuli from McDermott's lab https://mcdermottlab.mit.edu/svnh/Natural-Sound/Stimuli.html Another excellent resource is https://freesound.org/ but you will need to spend time seething through and finding what you are looking for and ensuring quality. I would also be interested in learning about other databases that exist. Best of luck with your project!
