Implicit and Explicit Voice Training Effects on Speech Perception and Listening Effort

32 normal-hearing participants completed speech-on-speech listening tasks after implicit or explicit voice training. The study, conducted by Ada Bicer, measured speech intelligibility and pupil dilation responses at three target-to-masker ratios. Results were harvested into DataverseNL and last updated on June 8, 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare the efficacy of implicit versus explicit voice training methods based on the described experimental design.
• Analyze the relationship between target-to-masker ratio and speech intelligibility scores as reported in the results.
• Investigate the correlation between pupil dilation responses and listening effort under different training conditions.
• Model the interaction between training method and signal-to-noise ratio on speech-on-speech perception performance.

Strengths

• Experimental design includes a control for training method with 16 participants per group.
• Measures both behavioral (speech intelligibility) and physiological (pupillometry) outcomes.
• Uses three standardized target-to-masker ratios (-6, 0, +6 dB) for testing.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Generalization to novel utterances was not tested, as the same stimuli were used in training and testing.
