This study used a repeated-measure experimental design and aimed to investigate the cognitive resource allocation process of spoken words in an immediate free recall paradigm. Here, ten adults with normal hearing (NH) attended 2 days of trials with 14 trials per day. The listeners heard four-speaker babble noise along with seven sentences and then tried to remember the first words of all seven sentences. Recall performance on the first day only showed a significant serial position effect (p < 0.05). With increasing memory load imposed by the subsequent recall task, baseline pupil size significantly enlarged (p < 0.01), and the PPDs significantly decreased (p < 0.01) during the encoding process, implying that a gradual increase in resources allocated to memory capacity corresponded to a decline in resources allocated to listening. Real-time allocation of cognitive resources during the encoding of spoken words can be monitored independently by the analysis of pupil dilation averaged over multiple trials.</p> </div> </div> </div>}, journal={Proceedings of the International Symposium on Auditory and Audiological Research}, author={Koo, Miseung and Suh, Myung-Whan and Lee, Jun Ho and Oh, Seung-Ha and Park, Moo Kyun}, year={2020}, month={Apr.}, pages={405–412} }
