Making Sense of Listening: The IMAP Test Battery

16.3K
A test battery (IMAP) for performing an in-depth assessment of auditory and cognitive abilities contributing to listening skills is described. It is quick to administer, child-friendly and free from linguistic confounds. Stimulus generation and protocol management are controlled via a software platform (IHR-STAR) to ensure replicable...

Techniques of therapeutic communication I: Active Listening, Sharing Observations, Validation, and Using Touch

The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...

Electroencephalography Measurements in Awake Marmosets Listening to Conspecific Vocalizations

1.3K
To study the evolution of language, comparing brain mechanisms in humans with those in nonhuman primates is important. We developed a method to noninvasively measure the electroencephalography (EEG) of awake animals. It allows us to directly compare EEG data between humans and animals for the long term without harming...

Assessing the Effects of Music Listening on Psychobiological Stress in Daily Life

13.7K
A study protocol is presented on how to assess associations between music listening and psychobiological stress (as measured by subjective stress levels, salivary cortisol, and salivary alpha-amylase) in daily life. Advice on study design, materials, methods, selection of participants, and statistical handling is provided. Representative results are presented and discussed.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Your own voice does not automatically grab attention. This study found that self-relevant stimuli only capture attention when the cognitive system deems them behaviorally relevant.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Auditory Perception
  • Self-Referential Processing

Background:

  • The human voice is a highly familiar and self-relevant stimulus.
  • Self-relevant stimuli, like one's own name, often capture attention, but the underlying mechanism (self-relevance vs. behavioral relevance) is debated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if a self-relevant stimulus (own voice) without a strong call to action captures attention.
  • To compare the disruptive effect of one's own voice versus another person's voice on cognitive performance.

Main Methods:

  • A conceptual replication study using a classic serial recall paradigm.
  • Three auditory conditions: quiet control, own artificially generated voice, and another person's voice (yoked control).

Main Results:

  • No significant difference in recall performance was found between the own voice and other voice conditions.
  • This suggests that not all self-relevant stimuli inherently capture attention.

Conclusions:

  • Attention capture by self-relevant stimuli may depend on the cognitive system's assessment of behavioral relevance.
  • The findings challenge the notion that all self-relevant auditory stimuli automatically command attention.
