Psychomotor performance: the effects of continuous noise and augmented feedback.
An experiment is reported which tests the hypothesis, put forward by Poulton (1976a, b) that the detrimental effects of noise are due to the masking of auditory feedback. The results of the experiment showed that noise impaired the performance of a tracking task both in the presence and absence of task-related auditory feedback. These findings are contrary to Poulton's predictions.
