abstract = "Most current technical measures of loudness (e.g., LAeq) assume that two temporal stimulus components with identical spectrum and level have the same impact on the overall loudness of a longer sound, regardless of their temporal position within the sound (e.g., beginning versus end).
In contrast to this assumption, many studies consistently showed that listeners apply strongly non-uniform temporal weights when judging the overall loudness of a longer, time-varying sound. The first 100-300 ms receive a higher weight than later portions of the stimulus (primacy effect).
Some studies also showed a recency effect, i.e., a slightly higher weight assigned to the end of a signal. This talk addresses the dependency of temporal loudness weights on sound duration. While most studies used stimulus durations in the order of 1 s, some experiments presented considerably
shorter or longer sounds, ranging from about 200 ms to 3 s. The results of these studies will be reviewed, and potential explanations of the effect of sound duration on temporal loudness weights will be discussed.",
