1. 1. Effect of phonological and semantic predictability on perceived clarity of degraded speech for non-native listeners

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : Kaori Hoshi Larsson; [2022]
   Keywords : speech perception; speech recognition; perceptual clarity; non-native; noise-vocoding; predictability; working memory; verbal fluency;

   Abstract : Many of us have experienced that speech in a non-native language under noise can be challenging. This study examined whether semantic and phonological predictability improves the intelligibility of degraded speech in a non-native language. An online experiment was conducted with 15 participants.

3. 2. Unraveling interaction between tinnitus symptoms, cognitive abilities, and mental disorders

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : Sini Alhola; [2019]
   Keywords : Cognitive hearing science; cognitive science; tinnitus; cognitive abilities; anxiety; depression;

   Abstract : Based on the former studies, there is evidence of tinnitus being associated with performance on cognitive ability tests (for example Andersson et al. 2009, Hallam et al. 2004). READ MORE

4. 3. Data representation for fluorescence guided stereotactic brain tumor biopsies : Development and evaluation of a visual and auditory user interface

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

   Author : Michaela Maintz; [2018]
   Keywords : Fluorescence spectroscopy; stereotactic brain tumor biopsies; intraoperative monitoring; user interface; auditory and visual data representation;

   Abstract : Background and Objective In stereotactic brain tumor biopsies, the combination of real-time fluorescence spectroscopy with the detection of microvascular perfusion using laser Doppler flowmetry provides an improved localization of the brain tumor while decreasing the risk of intra-cranial hemorrhage. The surgeon using the measurement probe is required to view signal values on a screen or usually, when her or his visual focus is directed at the patient, the verbal feedback of a biomedical engineer who is monitoring the measurement signals is needed.

5. 4. Visual Attentional Capture Resists Modulation in Singleton Search under Verbal Working Memory Load

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Martin Johansson; [2016]
   Keywords : singleton search; visual attention; attentional orienting; selective attention; attentional capture; top - down; bottom - up; verbal working memory; AVGP; trait anxiety;

   Abstract : Visual attentional capture is a form of visual attentional selection that is automatic and involuntary in nature, and is of high adaptive value as it allows visual attention to be oriented in a reflexive manner towards visual information without necessarily being guided by pre-existing knowledge, goals, and plans. According to the load-hypothesis (Lavie & De Fockert, 2005), attentional capture of salient stimuli increases under load on working memory due to disruption of stimulus-processing priorities.

6. 5. Second language proficiency and its effects on cognitive functions: : Relations between bilingualism and tactile and visual versions of the Simon task

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

   Author : Nicole Birbas; Linda Terneborg; [2015]
   Keywords : Bilingualism; cognitive science; executive functions; Simon effect;

   Abstract : Bilinguals have repeatedly shown to have better results than monolinguals in non-verbal cognitive tasks that require inhibition of distracting stimuli. Evidence suggests that this enhanced performance is due to training effects of non domain specific executive functions, and that this gain in cognitive performance can contribute to a cognitive reserve in old age.
