Effects of speech clarity on recognition memory for spoken sentences by Van Engen, Kristin J, Chandrasekaran, Bharath, Smiljanic, Rajka

“…Extensive research shows that inter-talker variability (i.e., changing the talker) affects recognition memory for speech signals. However, relatively little is…”
