The effects of sound source dominance and pressure level on cognitive performance and environmental perception in green space
Green spaces are essential for inhabitants, as exposure to them can be beneficial to cognitive performance. This research conducted an outdoor experiment to explore the effects of acoustic environments, including sound pressure level (SPL), sound source dominance (SSD), and their interaction, on cognitive performance and acoustic environmental perception in a green space. Cognitive performances and environmental perceptions of 118 participants were collected under a combination of 3 SPLs (55 dB(A), 60 dB(A), and 65 dB(A)) and 4 SSDs (bird SSD, human chatter SSD, traffic SSD, and construction SSD) and a quiet condition (totaling 13 experimental conditions). Seven cognitive abilities were assessed: memory (M-ability), attention (A-ability), planning (P-ability), spatial (S-ability), attention-memory (AM-ability), planning-memory (PM-ability), and spatial-memory (SM-ability). The results showed that SSD and SPL can significantly affect cognitive performance in green space, with the impacts varying depending on the types of cognitive tasks. Acoustic conditions that improve acoustic environmental perception do not always correspond to better cognitive performance. Under certain SPL conditions, specific types of noise within green spaces can even enhance cognitive performance. Significant interaction effects between SPL and SSD on cognitive performance were observed in tasks related to P-ability and AM-ability. Furthermore, significant interaction effects between SPL and SSD on acoustic environmental perception were noted in terms of acoustic environment comfort (AEC) and soundscape pleasantness (SP). These findings can enhance our understanding of how the acoustic environment influences cognitive performance and acoustic environmental perception in green spaces, providing valuable references for the design and management of acoustic environments in green spaces.
期刊介绍:
Since its launch in 1968, Applied Acoustics has been publishing high quality research papers providing state-of-the-art coverage of research findings for engineers and scientists involved in applications of acoustics in the widest sense.
Applied Acoustics looks not only at recent developments in the understanding of acoustics but also at ways of exploiting that understanding. The Journal aims to encourage the exchange of practical experience through publication and in so doing creates a fund of technological information that can be used for solving related problems. The presentation of information in graphical or tabular form is especially encouraged. If a report of a mathematical development is a necessary part of a paper it is important to ensure that it is there only as an integral part of a practical solution to a problem and is supported by data. Applied Acoustics encourages the exchange of practical experience in the following ways: • Complete Papers • Short Technical Notes • Review Articles; and thereby provides a wealth of technological information that can be used to solve related problems.
Manuscripts that address all fields of applications of acoustics ranging from medicine and NDT to the environment and buildings are welcome.
