History of Psychoacoustics

چکیده
Psychoacoustics, or rather Psychological Acoustics, plays a significant role to date in many areas of application within acoustics. It therefore has a long and vast history to look back upon. Within its history, one central figure is definitely Hermann von Helmholtz. He paved the way for interdisciplinary acoustic r esearch in his genius book “Die Lehre von den Tonempfindungen”. At his laboratory in Leipzig, his assistant Wilhelm Wundt created the foundation of experimental psychology – with international impact. Later, Carl Stumpf and the Berlin School of Gestalt psychologists who emigrated from Germany during the Nazi period created influential works of similar significance. Eberhard Zwicker collaborated with Stevens and shaped psychoacoustics so si g nificantly that it internationally became a vast area of application research. The aim of this lecture is to illustrate the intellectual roots of current standpoints and ways of thinking. In doing so, the diversity and partial incompatibility of historical standpoints will be revealed.
