TL;DR: It is suggested that researchers consider assumptions about the nature of these phenomena and their behavioural and physiological manifestations when interpreting data and, where possible, make predictions based on current theoretical knowledge to add to the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of listening effort and listening-related fatigue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disabled readers suffer from visual and auditory impairments but not from a specific magnocellular deficit.
TL;DR: It is found that some RD subjects have generally impaired perceptual skills, and the "magnocellular" level of description did not capture the nature of the perceptual difficulties in any of the RD individuals assessed by us.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early and rapid perceptual learning
TL;DR: The contributions of perceptual and procedural learning to improvement in an auditory tone frequency learning task in humans are assessed and it is found that perceptual learning accounted for between 76% and 98% of the rapid early performance improvement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discrimination learning induced by training with identical stimuli
TL;DR: This work shows improved auditory frequency discrimination following training with physically identical tones that were impossible to discriminate and suggests that three processes are necessary for optimal perceptual learning: sensitization through exposure to the stimulus, modality- and dimension-specific attention, and general arousal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Auditory processing deficits in reading disabled adults.
TL;DR: The results suggest that a large portion of disabled readers suffer from diverse difficulties in auditory processing, though increased within-channel noise is consistent with the majority of the deficits found in the subgroup of poorer auditory processors.
