Abstract
Abstract : Moderately loud noise of low frequency improves performance. When presented with mild heat, the combined effect of the 2 stresses can be smaller than the sum of the 2 separate effects. However caution is necessary in interpreting this result because performance in the control condition is affected by the pair of stresses used in the experiment.

The effects of loud noise are examined by observing its influence upon a combined tracking and multi-source monitoring task, which improves in noise, as does the detection of centrally located signals in the monitoring task.

154 Citations1963D. Ε. Broadbent, Margaret Gregory
A number of experiments are described in which untrained subjects kept watch during long periods for inconspicuous signals and it can be shown that the accuracy of reports are quite inconsistent with the concept that stimuli are either definitely perceived or definitely fail to be detected, with no intermediate category.

The present experiment examines the effect of changing the distribution of signals across the monitoring display and points to the selectivity effect in noise being a function of task priorities and not of physical location.

An analysis in terms of decision theory showed that detrimental changes during the watch period were entirely attributable to movement of the subject's criterion for reporting a signal: his sensitivity to the signals if anything improved during the work period.
