Listening to Compressed Speech: The Effects of Instructions, Experience, and Preference

Abstract

This experiment attempted to assess the effects of different information- seeking strategies on the rate at which individuals chose to listen to passages of time-compressed speech, and on their comprehension of those passages. The research also assessed the effects of prior experience with compressed speech on listning rates and on comprehension of 48 Army enlisted men and women. The various information-seeking strategies employed, produced no significant differences in speed or accuracy of performance. Personnel preferred to listen to speech rates well above normal speaking rates.
