Two experiments are reported upon the influence of a computer aid on the recognition of complex sounds. Twelve 112-h training and test sessions were conducted over a period of two weeks. Measures of unaided listener performance (L), computer performance (C), and combined performance (C (2) that excessively high C performance reduces the listeners performance; and (3) that the strategy involved in using the computer and audio displays tends to evolve with training. Initially, attempts to compromise between computer and audio information often lead to (C in the independent condition one observer receives the audio imputs and a partner views the computer display and makes the final (C & L) decision. No major differences in overall preferences were observed, except that the independent condition yields poor L performance.
