COMPUTER BASED COURSE IN HEARING SCIENCE

描述：工作建议开发一个基于计算机的，交互式的听力科学课程。 本课程旨在提供一个结构化的和教学有效的介绍，通过课程，概念和现象被展示和探索与精心设计的显示和界面交互。 对于听觉系统的解剖学和生理学的主题，重点将是通过动画示意图显示传达声音的外围转导的可视化。 对于心理声学的主题，重点将放在交互式演示中，其中主要的刺激参数是可操纵的，而时间，频谱和耳蜗表示的刺激显示和音频信号可供收听。 本课程的内容将是入门级的，适合听力学和耳科的学生。 在第一阶段，将编写一个关于轮廓分析的范例课程，并将为课程编写一个详细的大纲。 第二阶段的工作将主要包括将所需的课程发展成一个完整的课程。 最终的软件产品将以100美元左右的价格制成CD，并将与廉价的消费者声卡兼容。 这项工作建立在以前的工作中的一个基于计算机的声学语音学课程的发展。

DESCRIPTION: Work is proposed to develop a computer-based, interactive course in hearing science. This course is intended to provide a structured and pedagogically-effective introduction to hearing through lessons in which concepts and phenomena are demonstrated and explored interactively with carefully designed displays and interfaces. For topics in the anatomy and physiology of the auditory system, the emphasis will be on conveying a visualization of the peripheral transduction of sound through animated schematic displays. For topics in psychoacoustics, the emphasis will be on interactive demonstrations in which the primary stimulus parameters are manipulatable, while temporal, spectral, and cochlear representations of the stimulus are displayed and audio signals are available for listening. The content of the course will be at an introductory level, appropriate for students in audiology and otology. In Phase I, an example lesson on profile analysis will be developed and a detailed outline for the course will be constructed. Phase II work will consist largely of developing the required lessons into a complete course. The eventual software product will be available on CD at a cost on the order of $100 and will be compatible with inexpensive consumer sound boards. This work builds on previous work in the development of a computer-based course in acoustic phonetics.
