Observer Reaction to Non-Simultaneous Presentation of Pictures and Associated Sound

Harold N. Christopher

The results of experiments to determine observer reaction to non-simultaneous presentation of pictures and associated sound are reported. Curves are presented for two groups of observers: (1) a conditioned or technical group, and (2) a group more nearly representative of motion picture or television audiences. The data given may be used to predict observer reaction to the lack of simultancity between picture action and the resulting sound over a range of 0 to 300 milliseconds.
