Effortful listening under the microscope: Examining relations between pupillometric and subjective markers of effort and tiredness from listening [PDF]

open access: yesPsychophysiology, 2020
AbstractEffort during listening is commonly measured using the task‐evoked pupil response (TEPR); a pupillometric marker of physiological arousal. However, studies to date report no association between TEPR and perceived effort. One possible reason for this is the way in which self‐report effort measures are typically administered, namely as a single ...

Age-Related Difficulty of Listening Effort in Elderly [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021
The present study identifies the combined effects of aging and listening environment related factors, such as directionality, types of stimuli, and the presence of background noise. A total of 50 listeners with normal hearing (25 older adults and 25 young adults) participated in a series of tasks.

The Autonomic Correlates of Listening Effort [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
For those with hearing impairment, listening in daily life communication requires excessive mental effort, even when using a hearing aid. This increased daily effort causes fatigue and reduced well-being. In recent years, researchers have utilised physiological measures to quantify listening effort; however, the chosen methods are seldom driven by ...

Listening Effort in School-Aged Children With Limited Useable Hearing Unilaterally: Examining the Effects of a Personal, Digital Remote Microphone System and a Contralateral Routing of Signal System

open access: yesTrends in Hearing, 2021
Technology options for children with limited hearing unilaterally that improve the signal-to-noise ratio are expected to improve speech recognition and also reduce listening effort in challenging listening situations, although previous studies have not ...

The impact of a speaker’s voice quality on auditory perception and cognition: a behavioral and subjective approach

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2023
IntroductionOur voice is key for conveying information and knowledge to others during verbal communication. However, those who heavily depend on their voice, such as teachers and university professors, often develop voice problems, signaled by hoarseness.

Exposure to nonnative-accented speech reduces listening effort and improves social judgments of the speaker

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Prior research has revealed a native-accent advantage, whereby nonnative-accented speech is more difficult to process than native-accented speech. Nonnative-accented speakers also experience more negative social judgments.

Young children's perspectives of time: New directions for co‐constructing understandings of quality in ECEC

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Children's relationship with time in preschools is an under‐researched area. Young children rarely know how to measure time using a clock, but their experiences of time may contribute to understanding children's well‐being and debates about quality in preschools.
