AUDITORY LOCALIZATION OF NOISES

The report summarizes three studies of unaided auditory localization of fixed noise sources. Pointing was as accurate as aiming at auditory targets in darkness. Elevation errors were not significantly larger than azimuth errors. Subjects with hearing deviations (defects) performed as well as non-dev...

Description
Summary:The report summarizes three studies of unaided auditory localization of fixed noise sources. Pointing was as accurate as aiming at auditory targets in darkness. Elevation errors were not significantly larger than azimuth errors. Subjects with hearing deviations (defects) performed as well as non-deviant subjects (normals) in auditory localization.
