Under adverse listening conditions, speech comprehension profits from the expectancies
that listeners derive from the semantic context. However, the neurocognitive mechanisms of …

When listening to speech under adverse conditions, expectancies resulting from semantic
context can have a strong impact on comprehension. Here we ask how minimal variations in …

In speech comprehension, the processing of auditory information and linguistic context are
mutually dependent. This functional magnetic resonance imaging study examines how …

Speech signals are often compromised by disruptions originating from external (eg, masking
noise) or internal (eg, inaccurate articulation) sources. Speech comprehension thus entails …

When listening to speech in everyday-life situations, our cognitive system must often cope
with signal instabilities such as sudden breaks, mispronunciations, interfering noises or …

In real-world environments, humans comprehend speech by actively integrating prior
knowledge (P) and expectations with sensory input. Recent studies have revealed effects of …

Speech-in-noise comprehension difficulties are common among the elderly population, yet
traditional objective measures of speech perception are largely insensitive to this deficit …

The electroencephalographic (EEG) correlates of degraded speech perception have been
explored in a number of recent studies. However, such investigations have often been …

The phonemic restoration effect refers to the tendency for people to hallucinate a phoneme
replaced by a non-speech sound (eg, a tone) in a word. This illusion can be influenced by …

Speech comprehension requires rapid online processing of a continuous acoustic signal to
extract structure and meaning. Previous studies on sentence comprehension have found …
