The information transmission associated with elementary auditory displays consisting of a large number of independent stimulus aspects, e.g., the frequency or the sound level of a tone, was examined. In general, multiple stimulus encoding is a satisfactory procedure for increasing the information transmission associated with elementary auditory displays. Further, extreme subdivision of each stimulus aspect fails to produce substantial improvement in the information transmission.
