Research investigated how auditory distance cues and reverberation affect human spatial perception and localization strategies. It found that reverberation consistently increased localization errors, especially for closer sound sources, and that listeners compensated by increasing head movements, which correlated with improved accuracy.
Key insights
- Reverberation consistently degrades spatial localization performance across various metrics compared to anechoic conditions.
- The negative impact of reverberation on localization is distance-dependent, being most pronounced for closer sound sources.
- Listeners adapt to reverberant environments by increasing head movements, a strategy that correlates with improved localization accuracy.
