For seventy years, auditory selective attention research has focused on studying the
cognitive mechanisms of prioritizing the processing a 'main'task-relevant stimulus, in the …

One of the most fundamental questions in the fields of cognitive psychology and cognitive
neuroscience concerns how it is that human beings can selectively attend to certain aspects …

Some of the earliest work examining human selective attention considered auditory
communication signals, focusing on the issue of how we choose what to listen to in a mixture …

Attention prioritizes certain information at the expense of other information in ways that are
similar across vision, audition, and other sensory modalities. It influences how—and even …

It is unknown whether facilitation and inhibition of stimulus processing represent one or two
mechanisms in auditory attention. We performed electrophysiological experiments in …

Research on the topic of attention really got going as a result of the problems associated
with the processing of multiple sources of information out there in the real world. Specifically …

Past studies have explored the relative strengths of auditory features in a selective attention
task by pitting features against one another and asking listeners to report the words …

The extent to which distracting items capture attention despite being irrelevant to the task at
hand can be measured either implicitly or explicitly (eg, Simons, Trends Cogn Sci 4: 147 …

Selective auditory attention causes a relative enhancement of the neural representation of
important information and suppression of the neural representation of distracting sound …

In noisy settings, listening is aided by correlated dynamic visual cues gleaned from a talker's
face—an improvement often attributed to visually reinforced linguistic information. In this …
