DOI: 10.1002/acn3.471
Abstract: Auditory dysfunction under complex, dynamic listening conditions is a clinical hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) but challenging to measure and manage. Here, we assessed understanding of sinewave speech (a paradigm of degraded speech perception) and… read more here.

Hearing and seeing meaning in noise: Alpha, beta, and gamma oscillations predict gestural enhancement of degraded speech comprehension

DOI: 10.1002/hbm.23987
Abstract: During face‐to‐face communication, listeners integrate speech with gestures. The semantic information conveyed by iconic gestures (e.g., a drinking gesture) can aid speech comprehension in adverse listening conditions. In this magnetoencephalography (MEG) study, we investigated the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/xhp0000360
Abstract: Written and spoken language utilize the same processing system, enabling text to modulate speech processing. We investigated how simultaneously presented text affected speech recall in babble noise using a retrospective recall task. Participants were presented… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0267588
Abstract: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of degraded speech perception and binaural unmasking using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Normal hearing listeners were tested when attending to unprocessed or vocoded speech, presented to the… read more here.

Semantic Predictability Facilitates Comprehension of Degraded Speech in a Graded Manner

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.714485
Abstract: Previous studies have shown that at moderate levels of spectral degradation, semantic predictability facilitates language comprehension. It is argued that when speech is degraded, listeners have narrowed expectations about the sentence endings; i.e., semantic prediction… read more here.

Processing of Degraded Speech in Brain Disorders

DOI: 10.3390/brainsci11030394
Abstract: The speech we hear every day is typically “degraded” by competing sounds and the idiosyncratic vocal characteristics of individual speakers. While the comprehension of “degraded” speech is normally automatic, it depends on dynamic and adaptive… read more here.
