SOME INTERACTIONS OF SPEECH RATE, SIGNAL DISTORTION, AND CERTAIN LINGUISTIC FACTORS IN LISTENING COMPREHENSION,
Abstract
The paper reports an experiment designed to determine the effects of speech rate, signal distortion, and certain linguistic factors on listening comprehension. The results indicate that both speech rate and signal distortion may affect listening comprehension, with the latter effects becoming more noticeable with material of low redundancy. Linguistic cues such as inflection and syntax tended to aid listening comprehension. (Author)
