The Effect of Elevated Train Noise on Reading Ability
Bronzaft, Arline L.; McCarthy, Dennis P.
Environment and Behavior, 7, 4, 517-527, Dec 75
This study investigated the hypothesis that low reading achievement may be related to noise interference. Reading scores of children in classrooms near train tracks were lower than scores of children whose classrooms were quieter. Score differences may be due to children's blockage of all sounds in a noisy environment. (Author/MR)
