Title: Speech Perception: Additional Cues, Adverse Conditions
Abstract: Two studies investigating speech perception of individuals with normal hearing, listening under adverse conditions, will be discussed. First, electrophysiological data will be presented detailing an effect of seeing facial motion while listening to spoken syllables in noise. Secondly, preliminary data from an on-going experiment will be presented. This experiment utilizes a screener version of the Perceptually Robust English Sentence Test (PRESTO) to investigate individual differences in perceiving high-variability speech (talker, dialect, content) in multi-talker babble.
