HARVARD SCIENTISTS DEVISE RADIO AND TELEPHONE LISTENER TESTS
Individuals differ greatly in their ability to understand radio or telephone messages in the presence of noise, according to a report now on sale by the Office of Technical Services, Department of Commerce.
The report, prepared by researchers at the psychoAcoustic Laboratory, Harvard University, describes the development of three tests to assist the armed forces in selecting efficient operators in vital communications centers. The investigators have found that ordinary medical tests for hearing the eudiometer, whisper, or watch ticks were not helpful in determining "ability to listen to noise". All three of the Harvard tests used phonograph recordings of single words and meaningful sentences against a noisy background. With the aid of a manual, it was said, no special skills were re¬ quired to administer the test.
