Predictability effects on speech perception in noise (SPIN) in Korean
Korean Journal of Cognitive Science, 2016 This study investigates speech perception in noise (SPIN) in Korean. A new type of Korean SPIN test was developed by adopting a similar format to the English SPIN test. The predictability effects, noise effects and their interactions were examined in order to verify the previous findings based on English.
