This article presents a review of the effects of adverse conditions (ACs) on the perceptual,
linguistic, cognitive, and neurophysiological mechanisms underlying speech recognition …

If listening in adverse conditions is hard, then listening in a foreign language is doubly so:
non-native listeners have to cope with both imperfect signals and imperfect knowledge …

Two experiments examined the effects of processing fluency—that is, the ease with which
speech is processed—on language attitudes toward native-and foreign-accented speech …

Temporal cues are important for discerning word boundaries and syllable segments in
speech; their perception facilitates language acquisition and development. Beat …

Aging results in pervasive declines in nervous system function. In the auditory system, these
declines include neural timing delays in response to fast-changing speech elements; this …

Listeners' use of social information during speech perception was investigated by measuring
transcription accuracy of Chinese-accented speech in noise while listeners were presented …

Upon hearing someone's speech, a listener can access information such as the speaker's
age, gender identity, socioeconomic status, and their linguistic background. However, an …

Understanding speech in noise is one of the most complex activities encountered in
everyday life, relying on peripheral hearing, central auditory processing, and cognition …

People often have to listen to someone speak in the presence of competing voices. Much is
known about the acoustic cues used to overcome this challenge, but almost nothing is …

We investigated training-related improvements in listening in noise and the biological
mechanisms mediating these improvements. Training-related malleability was examined …
