Effects of Text on Speech in Noise Perception

Text and speech are often present simultaneously. Thus, questions arise about how they share the language processing network, how the system prioritises and combines the information and whether the text and speech are ever confused. In this project, a novel retrospective recall task was developed and used to evaluate the interactions between text and speech in both silent and noisy conditions. The investigations considered how these interactions were affected by the relationship between the printed and spoken stimuli and by multilingualism.
