Abstract

Two young male chimpanzees were exposed to 24 impulsive noises each night for 30 consecutive nights. The subjects' daytime performance on a temporal discriminative task was significantly poorer than pre-exposure performance standards. Although a general trend towards recovery became evident the subjects never fully regained consistent pre-exposure levels of performance. The data suggest that chronic nocturnal exposure to impulsive noise has a significantly detremental effect on the behavioral effectiveness of performing subjects.
