This study assessed the influence of tempo on selecting a sound sequence. In Exp. 1, synchronization with one of the two regular subsequences in a complex sequence was measured. 30 participants indicated a preference for the fastest subsequence when subsequences were in a slow tempo range (> or = 500 msec. IOI), and with the slower subsequence when they were in the fast tempo range (< or = 300 msec. IOI). These results were replicated using a perceptual task (Exp. 2 and 3) in which the 30 listeners had to detect a temporal irregularity in one of the two subsequences. Detection was better when the temporal irregularity was in the fastest subsequence than in the slowest one when the complex sequence was in a slow tempo range (> or = 500 msec. IOI) and the reverse was obtained when the complex sequence was in a fast tempo range (< or = 180 msec. IOI). These results have implications for design of auditory alarms.
本研究评估了节奏对声音序列选择的影响。在实验1中,测量了与复杂序列中两个规则子序列之一的同步情况。当子序列处于慢节奏范围(>或=500毫秒间隔时间)时,30名参与者表示更喜欢最快的子序列;而当子序列处于快节奏范围(<或=300毫秒间隔时间)时,他们则更喜欢较慢的子序列。这些结果在一项感知任务(实验2和3)中得到了重复验证,在该任务中,30名听众必须检测两个子序列之一中的时间不规则性。当复杂序列处于慢节奏范围(>或=500毫秒间隔时间)时,时间不规则性出现在最快子序列中的检测效果比出现在最慢子序列中的更好;而当复杂序列处于快节奏范围(<或=180毫秒间隔时间)时,情况则相反。这些结果对听觉警报的设计具有启示意义。
