Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial release from informational masking in speech recognition.
TL;DR: Three experiments were conducted to determine the extent to which perceived separation of speech and interference improves speech recognition in the free field, and indicated that the advantage of perceived separation is not limited to conditions where the interfering speech is understandable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of number of masking talkers and auditory priming on informational masking in speech recognition
TL;DR: The results suggest that informational masking can be overcome by factors that improve listeners' auditory attention toward the target.
Journal ArticleDOI
Onset dominance in lateralization
TL;DR: The present study examined the in-head lateralization of a relatively long-duration pulse train using an acoustic pointer measure of lateralization, with stimulus manipulations designed to determine conditions under which lateralization was consistent with the interaural onset delay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variability And Uncertainty In Masking By Competing Speech
TL;DR: The role of uncertainty in masking of speech by interfering speech was investigated and variations in masker uncertainty had relatively small effects on speech recognition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial release from masking with noise-vocoded speech.
TL;DR: The results suggest the importance of signal-to-noise ratio in the observation of "informational" masking and indicate that careful attention should be paid to this type of masking as implant processing improves and listeners begin to achieve success in poorer listening environments.
