Abstract:
This paper presents a sonification listening model built from
models of embodied cognitive meaning-making faculties.
The aim of such a model is to aid in understanding how
meaning is applied to auditory stimuli at the cognitive
level.this in trun can aid auditory display designers in
creating more effective auditory displays. The concept of
‘scale’ in sonification is considered in relation to the faculties
described in the model. An experiment that explores how
embodied auditory cognition, as described by the model,
understands and interprets sonifications is then presented.
This examining two speciffic kinds of ‘scale models’
listeners employ to interpret a sonification. The results
obtained from this experiment are particularly convincing
showing that a listeners knowledge of the data-set being
sonified will determine how they interpret changes in the
auditory stimuli in a sonification. The existence of these scale
models, the impact of a listeners knowledge on their
perception of a sonification and the implications imposed by
the embodied nature of auditory cognition suggest a new
avenue for auditory display researchers interested in
devloping meaningful sonifications that explit the embodied
nature of auditory cognitio
