原文是:
The answer is that blind listening tests fundamentally distort the listening process and are worthless in determining the audibility of a certain phenomenon.
As exemplified by yet another reader letter published in this issue, many people naively assume that blind listening tests are somehow more rigorous and honest than the “single-presentation” observational listening protocols practiced in product reviewing. There’s a common misperception that the undeniable value of blind studies of new drugs, for example, automatically confers utility on blind listening tests.
I’ve thought quite a bit about this subject, and written what I hope is a fairly reasoned and in-depth analysis of why blind listening tests are flawed. This analysis is part of a larger statement on critical listening and the conflict between audio “subjectivists” and “objectivists,” which I presented in a paper to the Audio Engineering Society entitled “The Role of Critical Listening in Evaluating Audio Equipment Quality.” You can read the entire paper here http://www.avguide.com/news/2008/05/28/the-role-of-critical-listening-in-evaluating-audio-equipment-quality/. I invite readers to comment on the paper, and discuss blind listening tests, on a special new Forum on AVguide.com. The Forum, called “Evaluation, Testing, Measurement, and Perception,” will explore how to evaluate products, how to report on that evaluation, and link that evaluation to real experience/value. I look forward to hearing your opinions and ideas.
Robert Harley认为盲听这个方式从本质上讲是歪曲了人正常的听音过程,因此在判断某个现象是否“可闻”时,盲听测试是没有价值的(worthless)。很多人天真地认为盲听测试比起音响器材的测评时普遍采用的“单个器材试听”的方式要更加严格和诚实,很多人以为双盲测试这一在试验新药疗效的过程中很有价值的做法,一定可以适用于听音。
对这个问题Robert Harley进行了深入的思索,发表了一篇文章:The Role of Critical Listening in Evaluating Audio Equipment Quality,并把文章提交给AES学会。 |
