Literal and Inferential Listening Comprehension: The Role of L1 vs. L2 Auditory Working Memory Capacity [PDF]
Working memory capacity, especially as it relates to L1 vs. L2, has been found to play a significant role in language comprehension and processing. Majority of the related studies have, however, been focused around reading comprehension, either in L1 or ...

Functional MRI studies of auditory comprehension [PDF]
The location of brain regions essential for auditory language comprehension is an important consideration in the planning of neurosurgical procedures that involve resections within the dominant temporal lobe. Language testing during intraoperative and extraoperative cortical stimulation has been the primary method for localizing these regions; however,

Wide Learning for Auditory Comprehension
Classical linguistic, cognitive and engineering models for speech recognition and human auditory comprehension posit representations for sounds and words that mediate between the acoustic signal and interpretation. Recent advances in automatic speech recognition have shown, using deep learning, that state-of-the-art performance is obtained without such

Functional connectivity between face-movement and speech-intelligibility areas during auditory-only speech perception. [PDF]
It has been proposed that internal simulation of the talking face of visually-known speakers facilitates auditory speech recognition. One prediction of this view is that brain areas involved in auditory-only speech comprehension interact with visual face-
