| summary | Our sense of hearing informs us about events and environments around us. The sounds we hear are shaped by the forces, actions, objects, and substances that generate them. There is evidence that humans have explicit access to physical causal properties of sound-generating events and can implicitly use acoustic properties to organize and understand sound events. This talk reviews a series of studies showing ways in which causal properties are relevant and useful concepts. The discrimination of the causal actions of sounds, such as bouncing or dripping, is better than the discrimination of the causal objects of sounds, such as material and shape. Misidentification of sounds can help inform us about the sound recognition process and can also be used to promote cognitive reappraisal and tolerance of unpleasant sounds. Different types of causal properties undergo differential neural processing. Causal properties are relevant to synthesizing sounds that transition between sound categories, identifying spectro-temporal features supporting recognition, revealing the most rapid and accurate level of sound description, planning gestures and learning gesture-sound mappings, improving automatic classification of sound events, understanding misidentification patterns in normal and impaired hearing, sound pleasantness, and multimodal integration. |
