TaskForce

The ASA PP Task Force on Remote Testing was initiated in May 2020 under direction of PP TC Chair Gin Best. #ASA #PPTC

Task Force goals

To identify and describe the opportunities and challenges for remote testing for psychological and physiological acoustics, including audiological, speech, language, and hearing research.

Task Force activities and approach

Initial activities of the task force center around two goals: First, to generate an online resource (this Wiki) discussing the various issues related to remote testing and, where possible, identifying best practices. Second, to characterize a range of potential solutions / platforms for conducting research via remote testing. Such platforms include fully online browser-based listening tests, downloadable software, and shippable "take-home" devices. To ensure a systematic and comprehensive evaluation of platform capabilities, The Task Force will develop an online survey tool for collecting standardized information about each candidate platform.
