Topic-based organization beats sequential background chapters for teaching audiology

Evidence

Traditionally, texts generally present a chapter on acoustics, one on auditory anatomy and physiology, and sometimes a chapter on methodology before delving into chapters on individual topics within the realm of psychoacoustics. In contrast, this text takes an approach similar to a problem-based approach in that each chapter presents self-contained information related to the acoustics, physiology, and methodologies as they apply to the specific topic being discussed. — Jennifer Lentz, Psychoacoustics- Perception of Normal…, 23
