在听觉警报设计中，声音与所指物之间的关联强度的概念一直是关键。研究已经通过构建信号-所指关联的分类系统进行，然后测试关于跨不同类型的听觉信号和在不同类型的听觉信号内的不同水平的信号-所指关联强度的学习容易度的预测（即，语音、抽象声音和听觉图标）。然而，术语上的混乱和对认知贡献的忽视（即，学习）的人或用户。借鉴符号学和认知心理学，作者强调了所谓的听觉图标的索引（而不是图标）的性质，作者确定认知者作为一个不可或缺的元素，在三重性质的意义。忽略这第三个要素的分类，只以二元方式定义信号-指称关系强度，会产生被学习混淆的结果;正确包含三元关系的分类会产生冗余的研究预测。构建和测试分类系统的标准方法的这些局限性表明，听觉警告设计必须在设计过程的早期阶段考虑到用户的认知贡献。
In auditory warning design the idea of the strength of the association between sound and referent has been pivotal. Research has proceeded via constructing classification systems of signal-referent associations and then testing predictions about ease of learning of different levels of signal-referent relation strength across and within different types of auditory signal (viz., speech, abstract sounds, and auditory icons). However, progress is hampered by terminological confusions and by neglect of the cognitive contribution (viz., learning) of the person or user. Drawing upon semiotics and cognitive psychology, the authors highlight the indexical (as opposed to iconic) nature of so-called auditory icons, and the authors identify the cogniser as an indispensable element in the tripartite nature of signification. Classifications that neglect this third element, defining signal-referent relation strength only dyadically, yield results confounded by learning; classifications that correctly include the triadic relation yield research predictions that are redundant. These limitations of the standard method of constructing and testing classification systems suggest that auditory warning design must take the cognitive contribution of the user into account at an earlier stage in the design process.
