Recently it has been demonstrated that auditory adaptation can be measured with a monaural technique (Weiler and Friedman, 1973; Weiler and Gross, 1976; Feaster and Weiler, 1975). Because the magnitude of adaptation measured monaurally was nearly identical to that measured binaurally in other experiments, it was assumed that they measured the same phenomenon or phenomena. In the present study the same group of subjects were tested for magnitude of adaptation both monaurally and binaurally. The means were 11.75 dB and 12.17 dB, respectively (N=13). Depsite nearly identical means for the present conditions there was no significant correlation (r=+.27) between the magnitude of adaptation measured under the two conditions. Except for the possibility that individual differences in the ability to do monaural versus binaural tasks may have obscured individual similarities in adaptation, the only other explanation the authors can suggest is that the two techniques measure different aspects of loudness adaptation.
最近有研究表明，听觉适应可以通过单耳技术进行测量（韦勒和弗里德曼，1973年；韦勒和格罗斯，1976年；费斯特和韦勒，1975年）。由于在其他实验中，单耳测量的适应程度与双耳测量的几乎相同，因此人们认为它们测量的是相同的一种或几种现象。在本研究中，对同一组受试者进行了单耳和双耳适应程度的测试。平均值分别为11.75分贝和12.17分贝（N = 13）。尽管当前条件下的平均值几乎相同，但两种条件下测量的适应程度之间没有显著相关性（r = +0.27）。除了单耳与双耳任务能力的个体差异可能掩盖了适应方面的个体相似性之外，作者能提出的唯一其他解释是，这两种技术测量的是响度适应的不同方面。
