Learning outcomes of the course unit
- Introduce students to methodological procedures and technical execution of perception test preparations in Vicero software developed in the Music Acoustics Research Center (web application PsychotestEditor and MTB software listening test).
- Introduce students with test preparations (establishing listening hypothesis), stimuli preparation (recordings, multimedia), and programming of the test interface itself.
- Partial processing of results with students leaning to evaluate the process of the evaluators, establish resulting evaluation according the grading layout of the Vicero evaluator. Based on further statistical processing, the subsequent evaluation (correlation analysis, ANOVA, factor analysis) with an introduction to the basics of acquired results intepretation.
Mode of study
Module instruction 4x by 3 instruction hours.
