The relationship between loudness and reaction time in normal hearing listeners.
Equal-loudness contours were constructed from magnitude estimation judgements in 10 normal-hearing listeners. Equal-latency contours were constructed from auditory reaction time measurements in these same listeners. the stimuli were pure tones ranging from 250-4000 Hz in octave intervals. Equal-loudness contours were in good agreement with those obtained by previous researchers, and the equal-latency curves were in good agreement with the equal-loudness contours.
