The more resources allocated to recovering a degraded input signal, the fewer resources, referred to as cognitive spare capacity (CSC), remain for higher-level processing of speech. Using simulated natural listening environments, the aims of this paper were to (1) evaluate an English version of a recently introduced auditory test to measure CSC that targets the updating process of the executive function, (2) investigate if the test predicts speech comprehension better than the reading span test (RST) commonly used to measure working memory capacity, and (3) determine if the test is sensitive to increasing the number of attended locations during listening. In Experiment I, the CSC test was presented using a male and a female talker, in quiet and in spatially separated babble- and cafeteria-noises, in an audio-only and in an audio-visual mode. Data collected on 21 listeners with normal and impaired hearing confirmed that the English version of the CSC test is sensitive to population group, noise condition, and clarity of speech, but not presentation modality. In Experiment II, performance by 27 normal-hearing listeners on a novel speech comprehension test presented in noise was significantly associated with working memory capacity, but not with CSC. Moreover, this group showed no significant difference in CSC as the number of talker locations in the test increased. There was no consistent association between the CSC test and the RST. It is recommended that future studies investigate the psychometric properties of the CSC test, and examine its sensitivity to the complexity of the listening environment in participants with both normal and impaired hearing. ; 14 page(s) Keyword: cognitive spare capacity; dynamic speech test; speech comprehension; updating; working memory capacity URL: http://hdl.handle.net/1959.14/1050079 BASE Hide details 2 The Impact of teacher cognition and classroom practices on IELTS test preparation courses in the Australian ELICOS sector Chappell, Philip; Bodis, Agnes; Jackson, Heather. - : IDP: IELTS Australia, 2015 BASE Show details 3 Interpretation of errors made by Mandarin-speaking children on the Preschool Language Scales - 5th edition Screening Test Ren, Yonggang; Rattanasone, Nan Xu; Wyver, Shirley. - : University of Newcastle, 2015 BASE Show details 4 The Influence of prompt on group oral tests Leaper, David A; Riazi, Mehdi. - : SAGE Publications, 2014 BASE Show details 5 The Contribution of speech-evoked cortical auditory evoked potentials to the diagnosis and measurement of intervention outcomes in children with auditory processing disorder Sharma, Mridula; Purdy, Suzanne C; Kelly, Andrea S. - : Thieme Medical Publishers, 2014 BASE Show details 6 Bilingual working memory capacity of professional Auslan / English interpreters Wang, Jihong. - : John Benjamins Publishing, 2013 BASE Show details 7 An Investigation of the relations between test-takers' first language and the discourse of written performance on the IELTS Academic Writing Test, Task 2 Riazi, A.
