Acoustics, cognitive load and learning in speech communication
Anders Kjellberg, Professor, University of Gävle, has been granted € 215 000 for a research project on room acoustics, cognitive load and learning in speech communication.
Besides Ecophon, the project involves several Swedish research institutions in environmental psychology, learning and room acoustics.
The main focus of the project is to see how and why long reverberation makes learning more difficult. The project will run 2006-2010.
The project is originated from the scientific litterature review co-financed by Ecophon, and published as "Effects of Reverberation Time on the Cognitive Load in Speech Communication: Theoretical Considerations"
The grant is issued by the Swedish Council for Working Life and Social Research. Read more >>
