• Abstract:
  Student pilots or new air traffic controllers have two ways to learn to understand the noisy and distorted communications common to aircraft operations: they may learn as they are working on other aspects of the activity, or they may learn by devoting a continuous period of time to speech-intelligibility improvement. Work completed at this laboratory indicates that two listening sessions of less than 1 hour each can accomplish the improvement and, under some circumstances, a single session will do. The current experiments are intended to reveal some of the microstructure of this learning process.
