The time-course of linguistic interference during native and non-native speech-in-speech listening by Mepham, Alex, Bi, Yifei, Mattys, Sven L.

“…Recognizing speech in a noisy background is harder when the background is time-forward than for time-reversed speech, a masker direction effect, and harder…”

Is the superior verbal memory span of Mandarin speakers due to faster rehearsal? by Mattys, Sven L., Baddeley, Alan, Trenkic, Danijela

“…It is well established that digit span in native Chinese speakers is atypically high. This is commonly attributed to a capacity for more rapid subvocal…”
