Poor inhibitory control increases noise susceptibility in speech-in-noise tasks

Evidence

WM can also be conceptualised in terms of inhibition of irrelevant information (Engle and Kane 2003 ), which has again been linked to speech perception. For instance, poor inhibition appears to increase susceptibility to background noise during SiN tasks (Janse 2012 ). Finally, general linguistic competence—specifically vocabulary size and reading comprehension—has also been shown to aid SiN perception in some situations (Avivi-Reich et al. 2014 ). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 1234
