10 Adaptation Level Theory Feature Analysis Feature Detection Sensory output Tinnitus Residual Cognition Memory Prediction Arousal Personality Attention Orientation Feature Analysis Feature Detection Sensory output Sound AL=X p B q R r Helson (1964) AL is the adaptation level, X is the geometric mean of the focal stimuli (tinnitus), B is the therapeutic, R are residuals (e.g. memory, arousal, and personality). The weighting coefficients p, q, and r determine the relative contributions to adaptation level and are related to attention and ASA.
