Auditory Cognition and Human Performance: Research and Applications
Autor Carryl L. Baldwinen Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 feb 2012
The book examines the relationship between auditory cognition and human performance, highlighting the nature of situations in which the mental resource requirements of auditory processing may be compromised. It focuses on the importance of increasing our understanding of auditory cognition and its relationship to human performance. Written in an accessible and engaging style, this book balances coverage of basic and applied research, supplies copious examples to explain key concepts, and includes extensive references for further reading and exploration. Bringing together coverage of sensory and cognitive processes, the author discusses how their interaction can be used to improve display design.
Despite the relative neglect that auditory processing has received in earlier years, the auditory modality remains a potent source of information with several advantageous and unique characteristics. Over the past two decades there has been a growing base of empirical research on auditory cognition and its role in human performance at work and in everyday life. This book points out many of the questions that have yet to be resolved and provides the understanding needed to design more effective auditory displays, make better alerts and warnings, and improve communications and a wide variety of other things.

Descriere
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.
