TL;DR: This paper examines the Ease of Language Understanding model in light of new behavioral and neural findings concerning the role of working memory capacity (WMC) in uni-modal and bimodal language processing.

TL;DR: It is shown that the auditory-evoked brainstem response to task-irrelevant sound decreases as a function of central working memory load (manipulated with a visual–verbal version of the n-back task), which supports a unified view of attention whereby the capacity of a late/central mechanism (working memory) modulates early precortical sensory processing.

TL;DR: For example, this article found that consumers believe that eco-labeled products taste better, which, at least in part, may be an effect of the label, and they examined some mechanisms and limits of the eco-labels effect.

TL;DR: The eco-label effect does not appear to be a consequence of social desirability, as participants were just as biased when reporting the taste estimates and willingness to pay anonymously (Experiment 3).

TL;DR: In this article, the decoding/playback part of received sound data packets in systems for transmission of sound over packet switched networks is discussed, where the lengths of received signal frames are manipulated by performing time expansion or time compression of one or more signal frames at time varying intervals and with time varying lengths of the expansion or compression, said intervals and said lengths being determined so as to maintain a continuous flow of signal samples to be played back.
