News from Martin Meyer's research group on cognitive hearing and speech perception
This study by Frei and colleagues investigated behavioral and neural processing of natural continuous speech in babble noise as a function of varying speech presentation modalities in older hearing-impaired individuals. The data revealed a strong association between individual working memory capacity and task performance, suggesting a more complex interplay between sensory and cognitive processing in the context of natural continuous speech.
