Evaluation of the Willeford Binaural Resynthesis Subtest Evaluation
نویسنده
چکیده
The binaural resynthesis subtest of the WilIeford Test Battery (1977) was administered to a sample of 56 children with an average age of 8 years. 8 months. in order to investigate test characteristics. Analysis revealed that 19 of 40 items fell outside the optimal range for item difficulty. In addition, a significant difference was found between right and left ear scores, and a significant correlation was found between item difficulty and word frequency. Based on the results of these analyses. it was concluded that the use of the WilIeford binaural resynthesis subtest as a measure of central auditory processing with children of elementary school age is questionable.

Sound Field Synthesis Toolbox
An open source toolbox for Sound Field Synthesis (SFS) is introduced. The toolbox is able to numerically simulate sound fields synthesized by SFS methods like Wave Field Synthesis or higher order Ambisonics. Various loudspeaker driving signals for the mentioned methods are provided for 2-, 2.5and 3-dimensional synthesis. The toolbox allows mono-frequent as well as broadband excitation signals. ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Binaural Synthesis by Minimum Audible Angles
Binaural synthesis (BS) is widely used as a tool aiming at eliciting specific auditory perceptions by means of headphones, ideally exactly as elicited by a real or hypothetical reference scene. In this contribution, an evaluation method is proposed, addressing the synthesis quality by comparing the minimum audible angles (MAAs) measured in the synthesized versus the corresponding real situation...

24 A method (called binaural enhancement) for enhancing interaural level differences at 25 low frequencies, based on estimates of interaural time differences, was developed and 26 evaluated. Five conditions were compared, all using simulated hearing-aid processing: (1) 27 Linear amplification with frequency-response shaping (LIN); (2) Binaural enhancement 28 combined with linear amplification a...

This paper presents evaluation results of parametric auralization system. The auralization method, based on imagesource and edge diffraction modeling, is briefly overviewed and evaluation of the auralization quality is performed both subjectively and objectively. As a case study the auralization of a lecture room is considered with three different musical stimuli. The evaluation results show th...
