Popis: Theories of both auditory and visual scene analysis have suggested that our perception of a scene relies on the identification and segregation of multiple objects within it, resembling a detail-oriented processing style. However, it is possible that global processing may also occur when observers evaluate auditory scenes. In the visual modality, there is evidence for global properties that enable visual scenes to be rapidly recognized, even in the absence of recognizing the individual objects comprising the scene. The present study aims to evaluate the importance of high-level information (global, schematic information about auditory scenes) and low-level information (i.e., acoustic properties of auditory scenes) in auditory scene identification. In particular, this study aims to 1) evaluate the duration of time necessary to understand auditory scenes and 2) determine the familiarity and emotional aspects of our set of scene stimuli. The behavioral results from this study will be combined with our scene stimuli and measures from an extensive acoustic analysis of the scenes to create an open-source database of scenes available for use by researchers.
