Auditory Cognition and Human Performance - Research and Applications

Informationen zum Autor Carryl L. Baldwin Klappentext Broad in scope, this book thoroughly examines the intersection of auditory processing and mental workload requirements, highlighting the information processing demands of auditory signals. The author provides background information before going on to explore methodologies and design issues. She provides extensive coverage of audition in human factors, cognitive aspects of auditory processing related to attention, working memory, speech and decision making, auditory processing changes associated with aging, and the impact of advanced auditory displays. The text draws together work from a vast array of disparate fields to create an interdisciplinary resource on auditory perception. Zusammenfassung Improved neurophysiological methods of examining auditory processing have opened fresh ways for understanding the relationship between auditory processing and mental workload. This work examines the information processing demands of auditory signals and also covers cognitive aspects of auditory processing related to attention.
