Frequency Analysis of Complex Auditory Cues.
A basic attribute of the human auditory system is its capacity for extracting information from an often complex acoustic environment. This concept is reflected in Ohm's acoustical law which holds that the ear is able to "hear out" the simple tonal components of a complex sound. Essentially, the ear …

AUDITORY CUES AND RESPONSE MODES MEDIATE PERIPHERAL VISUAL MISLOCALIZATION
The current study investigates the influence of auditory cues on the localization of briefly presented peripheral visual stimuli. Because the brief presentation of peripheral visual stimuli often leads to mislocalization (Binda, Morrone, & Burr, 2010; Bocianski, Musseler, & Erlhagen, 2008; …

Utilization of auditory cues to enhance therapy for children with cerebral palsy
… of the research is to examine the impact of auditory stimulus on improving reaching performance in children with cerebral palsy. A form of auditory stimulus, called rhythmic auditory stimulation (RAS), is well-established in neurological fields as well as in music-based rehabilitation and …

Virtual drilling haptics perception from auditory cues employing low-end haptic devices
… of such devices (coupled with the appropriate auditory cues) in applications that require higher fidelity at a fraction of the associated cost. Here I present an experiment in which participants were asked to perform a virtual drilling task (drilling wood) using two consumer-level haptic …

The Effect of Directional Auditory Cues on Driver Performance in a Simulated Truck Cab Environment
… the potential benefits of using directional auditory cues in intelligent transportation system technologies in commercial vehicles. Twelve licensed commercial vehicle operators drove a commercial truck-driving simulator and were prompted to select highway numbers on a side-task display. …

Investigating The Effects Of 3-d Spatialized Auditory Cues On The Development Of Situation Awareness For Teams
… investigated the effects of spatialized auditory cues on the development of situation awareness for teams. Based on extant research, it was hypothesized that 3-D spatialized auditory cues can be utilized by teams to develop knowledge about team member location in addition to supporting …

The ethology of the Malayan false vampire bat (Megaderma spasma), with special emphasis on auditory cues used in foraging
… different restrictions on the use of sensory cues by hunting bats, a primary focus of my work was to determine what cues are used by foraging M. spasma, and their role in generating adaptive behavioral responses.

Type and amount of prenatal auditory experience alters postnatal perceptual responsiveness in bobwhite quail
… distress calls continued to respond to maternal auditory cues into later stages of postnatal development in comparison to controls (Experiments 1A & 2A) and failed to demonstrate species-typical responsiveness to maternal visual cues (Experiments 1B & 2B). In contrast, embryos exposed to 5 min/hr …

Mechanisms of Compass Orientation in C57BL/6 Laboratory Mice
… a specific angle relative to a directional cue. Cues used for compass orientation include the sun, stars, moon, geomagnetic field and polarized light. While there is evidence in a variety of organisms for compass orientation, the ability of mammals to use cues for compass orientation has been …

Effects of early and delayed visual experience on intersensory functioning in bobwhite quail chicks
… quail chicks are known to require only maternal auditory cues to direct their social preferences in the first days following hatching. However, by 3 days following hatching quail chicks require both auditory and visual cues to direct their social preferences. In contrast, birds which have …

Effect of social bond strength on responses to human-given cues in domestic working dog breeds
… and non-working dog breeds’ processing of non-auditory communicative cues given by humans. We also assessed whether domestic working dog breeds were more aware of cues given by their caregiver or an unfamiliar person. The research furthered the findings of Cunningham and Ramos (2014), Scoular …

The effects of augmented prenatal visual stimulation on postnatal perceptual responsiveness in Bobwhite quail
… chicks continued to respond to maternal auditory cues into later stages of postnatal development and failed to respond to maternal visual cues at the age when normally reared chicks to exhibit this species-specific ability. Embryos in this study also failed to demonstrate early auditory …

The Role of Multisensory Information in Infants' Recognition of their Fathers
… the role of multisensory information (visual and auditory cues). All infants were 4-months-old and were tested in a visual-fixation preference procedure. The two measures of interest were attention and affective responsiveness. Preference was measured by the amount of time the infants watched a …

Conversational scene analysis
… for analyzing conversations based on nonverbal auditory cues. We develop a notion of conversations as being made up of a variety of scenes: in each scene, either one speaker is holding the floor or both are speaking at equal levels. Our goal is to find conversations, find the scenes within them, …

The role of stimulus matching in the development of intersensory perception in bobwhite quail
… and amount of prenatal and postnatal stimulus cues in directing the perceptual preferences of bobwhite quail chicks. Results reveal that chicks prefer postnatal stimulus cues that matched the particular type of prenatal stimulation they received as embryos over stimulus cues that match the …

Audible pedestrian signals: a feasibility study
… signals. These signals are devices which give auditory cues to help the visually impaired cross safely at difficult intersections. Surveys were sent out to over 100 organizations, audible signal manufacturers, and cities who have knowledge of the devices, and responses were analyzed. The …

TV Guide: Learning to Use Video as a Source of Information
… live video were examined. When contingency and auditory cues were added to 2-year-olds' experience with live video in the lab, they succeeded at the video object-retrieval task and a later picture transfer task. Thus, giving 2-year-olds relevant experience with video helped them detect the …

Auditory and visual determinants of maternal preference in bobwhite quail neonates
… study the interaction between natural visual and auditory stimulation in the control of filial behavior was examined in bobwhite quail chicks during the first 4 days of postnatal life. Previous research has revealed that bobwhite quail hatchlings are differentially responsive to their …
