Abstract
The effects of continuous noise vs intermittent noise on Ss performing an audio-visual checking task were examined using TSD (Theory of Signal Detectability) measures of performance. TSD measures were relatively stable for all Ss during both intermittent and continuous noise conditions and closely approximated the values which would be expected in a psychophysical setting. During the last 20 min of the duty period, there was a corresponding increase in the Ss ’response criterion.
