Theories of visual attention argue that attention operates on perceptual objects, and thus
that interactions between object formation and selective attention determine how competing …

A common complaint among listeners with hearing loss (HL) is that they have difficulty
communicating in common social settings. This article reviews how normal-hearing listeners …

The ASA Press imprint represents a collaboration between the Acoustical Society of America
and Springer dedicated to encouraging the publication of important new books in acoustics …

This study investigated the interaction between hearing loss, reverberation, and age on the
benefit of spatially separating multiple masking talkers from a target talker. Four listener …

Spatial release from masking was studied in a three-talker soundfield listening experiment.
The target talker was presented at 0 azimuth and the maskers were either colocated or …

Most normal-hearing listeners can understand a conversational partner in an everyday
setting with an ease that is unmatched by any computational algorithm available today. This …

Dividing attention over two streams of speech strongly decreases performance compared to
focusing on only one. How divided attention affects cognitive processing load as indexed …

Vision has been the primary focus of naturalistic philosophical research concerning
perception and perceptual experience. Guided by visual experience and vision science …

Speech perception is essential for daily communication. Background noise or concurrent
talkers, on the other hand, can make it challenging for listeners to track the target speech (ie …

Spatially separating target and masking speech can result in substantial spatial release from
masking (SRM) for normal-hearing listeners. In this study, SRM was examined at eight …
