Spoken word recognition is a critical hub during language processing, linking hearing and
perception to meaning and syntax. Words must be recognized quickly and efficiently as …

Adults differ considerably in their perception of both native and nonnative phonemes. For
instance, when presented with continua of native phonemes on two-alternative forced …

Given the increasing prevalence of online data collection, it is important to know how
behavioral data obtained online compare to samples collected in the laboratory. This study …

This paper examines some commonly used stimuli in speech perception experiments and
raises questions about their use, or about the interpretations of previous results. The …

Objectives: Despite the widespread use of noise reduction (NR) in modern digital hearing
aids, our neurophysiological understanding of how NR affects speech-in-noise perception …

Objectives: A key challenge in word recognition is the temporary ambiguity created by the
fact that speech unfolds over time. In normal hearing (NH) listeners, this temporary ambiguity …

Recall testing is a common assessment to gauge memory retrieval. Responses from these
tests can be analyzed in several ways; however, the output generated from a recall study …

Objectives: Understanding speech-in-noise (SiN) is a complex task that recruits multiple
cortical subsystems. Individuals vary in their ability to understand SiN. This cannot be …

Headphone checks have rapidly become an assumed part of best practices in online
perception studies. Do they actually improve our ability to find phonological patterns? They …

Hearing loss is a highly prevalent chronic condition that degrades the quality of life.
Although hearing aids provide immediate and efficient benefits to listeners with mild-to …
