Listening effort and accented speech [PDF]

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Understanding spoken language requires mapping acoustic input onto stored phonological and lexical representations. Speech tokens, however, are notoriously variable: they fluctuate within speakers, across speakers, and in different acoustic environments. As listeners, we must therefore perceive speech in a manner flexible enough to accommodate acoustic

The Involvement of Listening Effort in Explaining Bilingual Listening Under Adverse Listening Conditions

Trends in Hearing, 2023
The current review examines listening effort to uncover how it is implicated in bilingual performance under adverse listening conditions. Various measures of listening effort, including physiological, behavioral, and subjective measures, have been ...

A lecturer's voice quality and its effect on memory, listening effort, and perception in a VR environment. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Many lecturers develop voice problems, such as hoarseness. Nevertheless, research on how voice quality influences listeners’ perception, comprehension, and retention of spoken language is limited to a small number of audio-only experiments.

Cortical alpha oscillations in cochlear implant users reflect subjective listening effort during speech-in-noise perception.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Listening to speech in noise is effortful for individuals with hearing loss, even if they have received a hearing prosthesis such as a hearing aid or cochlear implant (CI).

Speech Recognition and Listening Effort in Cochlear Implant Recipients and Normal-Hearing Listeners

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
The outcome of cochlear implantation is typically assessed by speech recognition tests in quiet and in noise. Many cochlear implant recipients reveal satisfactory speech recognition especially in quiet situations. However, since cochlear implants provide

Spatial separation enhances speech intelligibility but increases listening effort with session-dependent variability in pupillometric measures [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience
IntroductionThe current understanding of the cognitive load of listening effort has been advanced by combining speech intelligibility and pupillometry measures.

Investigating the Reliability of Pupillometry as a Measure of Individualized Listening Effort [PDF]

Trends Hear, 2023
Recordings of the pupillary response have been used in numerous studies to assess listening effort during a speech-in-noise task. Most studies focused on averaged responses across listeners, whereas less is known about pupil dilation as an indicator of ...

Listening Comprehension and Listening Effort in the Primary School Classroom [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
In the primary school classroom, children are exposed to multiple factors that combine to create adverse conditions for listening to and understanding what the teacher is saying.

Attention Mobilization as a Modulator of Listening Effort: Evidence From Pupillometry. [PDF]

Trends Hear
Listening to speech in noise can require substantial mental effort, even among younger normal-hearing adults. The task-evoked pupil response (TEPR) has been shown to track the increased effort exerted to recognize words or sentences in increasing noise ...

Effect of Auditory Distractors on Speech Recognition and Listening Effort. [PDF]

Ear Hear, 2023
Objectives: Everyday listening environments are filled with competing noise and distractors. Although significant research has examined the effect of competing noise on speech recognition and listening effort, little is understood about the effect of ...
