Defining attention from an auditory perspective

AL Noyce, JAC Kwasa… - Wiley Interdisciplinary …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Attention prioritizes certain information at the expense of other information in ways that are
similar across vision, audition, and other sensory modalities. It influences how—and even …

Why are listeners hindered by talker variability?

S Luthra - Psychonomic bulletin & review, 2024 - Springer
Though listeners readily recognize speech from a variety of talkers, accommodating talker
variability comes at a cost: Myriad studies have shown that listeners are slower to recognize …

Causal links between parietal alpha activity and spatial auditory attention

Y Deng, RMG Reinhart, I Choi, BG Shinn-Cunningham - elife, 2019 - elifesciences.org

Talker discontinuity disrupts attention to speech: Evidence from EEG and pupillometry

SJ Lim, YD Carter, JM Njoroge… - Brain and …, 2021 - Elsevier
Speech is processed less efficiently from discontinuous, mixed talkers than one consistent
talker, but little is known about the neural mechanisms for processing talker variability. Here …

Attention, task demands, and multitalker processing costs in speech perception.

D Saltzman, S Luthra, EB Myers… - Journal of Experimental …, 2021 - psycnet.apa.org
Determining how human listeners achieve phonetic constancy despite a variable mapping

Selecting among competing models of talker adaptation: Attention, cognition, and memory in speech processing efficiency

AM Kapadia, TK Perrachione - Cognition, 2020 - Elsevier
Phonetic variability across talkers imposes additional processing costs during speech
perception, often measured by performance decrements between single-and mixed-talker …

Distinct mechanisms for talker adaptation operate in parallel on different timescales

JY Choi, RSN Kou, TK Perrachione - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2022 - Springer
