Sequence effects and speech processing: cognitive load for speaker-switching within and across accents by McLaughlin, Drew J., Colvett, Jackson S., Bugg, Julie M., Van Engen, Kristin J.

“…Prior work in speech processing indicates that listening tasks with multiple speakers (as opposed to a single speaker) result in slower and less accurate…”

Pupillometry reveals differences in cognitive demands of listening to face mask-attenuated speech by Carraturo, Sita, McLaughlin, Drew J., Peelle, Jonathan E., Van Engen, Kristin J.

“…Face masks offer essential protection but also interfere with speech communication. Here, audio-only sentences spoken through four types of masks were…”

Social Priming: Exploring the Effects of Speaker Race and Ethnicity on Perception of Second Language Accents by McLaughlin, Drew J., Van Engen, Kristin J.

“…Listeners use more than just acoustic information when processing speech. Social information, such as a speaker’s perceived race or ethnicity, can also affect…”

Revisiting the relationship between implicit racial bias and audiovisual benefit for nonnative-accented speech by McLaughlin, Drew J., Brown, Violet A., Carraturo, Sita, Van Engen, Kristin J.

“…Speech intelligibility is improved when the listener can see the talker in addition to hearing their voice. Notably, though, previous work has suggested that…”

Rapid adaptation to fully intelligible nonnative-accented speech reduces listening effort by Brown, Violet A, McLaughlin, Drew J, Strand, Julia F, Van Engen, Kristin J

“…In noisy settings or when listening to an unfamiliar talker or accent, it can be difficult to understand spoken language. This difficulty typically results in…”

Exploring effects of brief daily exposure to unfamiliar accent on listening performance and cognitive load by McLaughlin, Drew J., Baese-Berk, Melissa M., Van Engen, Kristin J.

“…Introduction Listeners rapidly “tune” to unfamiliar accented speech, and some evidence also suggests that they may improve over multiple days of exposure. The…”

No news is good news: Social priming and the intelligibility of American-accented English by McLaughlin, Drew J., Van Engen, Kristin J.

“…Social information, such as a speaker’s race, can affect the perception of speech. In some cases, these social primes facilitate perception, while in others…”

Social priming for nonnative-accented speech by McLaughlin, Drew J., Van Engen, Kristin J.

“…Prior work indicates that a speaker’s race/ethnicity can prime a listener to expect native versus nonnative (foreign) accents. In the present study, we…”
