Stimulus-Identification Overlap in Learning to Identify Complex Sounds
Norman A. Sidley, Eugene Winograd, Erwin W. Bedarf · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 1965
With a feedback method, two groups were taught to identify, by label, complex sounds. One group continued to hear the sound following response and during identification; the second group experienced a 1-sec delay between the sound and its label. Better learning and long-term retention characterized the group for which sound and label overlapped.
