Perceptual learning for speech in noise improves with widely spaced sessions. Sex and inter-session interval (ISI) influence learning patterns, with some females showing rapid early learning that sleep can normalize.

Area of Science:

Auditory neuroscience
Perceptual learning
Human auditory system

Background:

Speech segregation in noise is a critical auditory skill.
Perceptual learning can enhance auditory abilities.
Inter-session interval (ISI) effects on learning are not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the impact of varying inter-session intervals (ISIs) on speech segregation learning.
To examine sex-specific differences in learning patterns.
To understand the role of early versus late learning components.

Main Methods:

Adult participants completed 6 speech segregation tasks with ISIs from minutes to weeks.
Learning patterns were analyzed in early (sessions 1-2) and late (sessions 2-6) phases.

Sex and ISI effects on learning trajectories were assessed.

Main Results:

Significant improvements in speech segregation were observed even with 3-week ISIs.
While total learning was similar, sex and ISI modulated learning patterns.
Females at intermediate ISIs (30 min-1h) exhibited accelerated early learning, differing from males and females at other ISIs.
Interposing sleep normalized this deviant learning pattern.

Conclusions:

Auditory perceptual learning, specifically speech segregation, is robust to widely spaced training.
Sex and ISI interact to create distinct learning patterns, including a rapid early learning phase in some females.
Sleep plays a role in modulating and potentially normalizing these learning patterns.
