Studies on perceived audio-visual spatial coherence in the literature have commonly employed continuous judgment scales. This method requires listeners to detect and to quantify their perception of a given feature and is a difficult task, particularly for untrained listeners. An alternative method is the quantification of a percept by conducting a simple forced choice test with subsequent modeling of the psychometric function. An experiment to validate this alternative method for the perception of azimuthal audio-visual spatial coherence was performed. Furthermore, information on participant training and localization ability was gathered. The results are consistent with previous research and show that the proposed methodology is suitable for this kind of test. The main differences between participants result from the presence or absence of musical training.
