Author discusses a new concept of technology, Audio Cassette Technology. (HB)

Author discusses how acoustics must be managed in order to allow successful use of loudspeakers (Author/HB)

A prototype of a novel system (featuring narrative voice presentation with simultaneous motion graphics) for conversational learning is described." (Editor)

Speech intelligibility scores obtained with unilaterally hearing impaired subjects under aided and unaided experimental listening conditions suggest that, while the CROS (Contralateral Routing of Signals) hearing aid enhances intelligibility under favorable use conditions, it degrades speech intelligibility in some demanding situations. (Author/KW)

The use of tapes and tape recorders in teaching is described. (DB)

A discography of historic reissues is presented. (Author)

An evaluation of helical scan video tape recorders. (JW)

Describes the development of a processing methodology for oral history tapes--the TAPE System (Timed Access to Pertinent Excerpts). Developed at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, the TAPE system is linked to a philosophy that the sound recording itself is the primary source document. (DB)

Acceleration of the rate-of-take recorded material as a way of increasing input load to the learner may be detrimental to the quality of learning that occurs. Experimental findings here show that such an increase severely attenuates optimal learning levels. Correct absolute judgments regarding input material is impaired. (Author/PJM)

Addresses the concept of adding sound to existing personal computers. Describes hardware and software options and explores uses of computers equipped with sound. Sidebars summarize the development of stereo sound in multimedia products and describe the two major forms of computer sound: Musical Instrument Digital Interface and digital sound waves.…

nstraints, phonotactic probabilityThe effects of phonotactic constraints (i.e., the status of a sound as correctly or incorrectly articulated) and phonotactic probability (i.e., the likelihood of a sound sequence) on lexical acquisition have been investigated independently. This study investigated the interactive influence of phonotactic…

The purpose of this online study was to create a ranking of essential core competencies and technologies required by AET (audio engineering technology) programs 10 years in the future. The study was designed to facilitate curriculum development and improvement in the rapidly expanding number of small to medium sized audio engineering technology…
