Four triggering factors in loudness adaptation.

From: The Journal of General Psychology | Date: October 1, 1993| Author: | Copyright information

A factor analysis was used to determine whether induced loudness adaptation (Botte, Canevet, & Scharf, 1982; Scharf, 1983) and adaptation measured by Hood's (1950) classic Simultaneous Dichotic Loudness Balance technique (SDLB) would cluster on the same factors. The two phenomena did not cluster on the same factors; thus, induced adaptation cannot replace SDLB adaptation. Four independent factors that trigger auditory adaptation were identified in the factor analysis.

HOOD'S MONUMENTAL STUDY (1950) has stimulated much research in the area of auditory adaptation. However, subsequent studies ...
