Noise effects on human performance: a meta-analytic synthesis.
Noise is a pervasive and influential source of stress. Whether through the acute effects of
impulse noise or the chronic influence of prolonged exposure, the challenge of noise …

[BOOK][B] Working memory: Loss and reconstruction
P Barrouillet, V Camos - 2014 - taylorfrancis.com
Working memory is the cognitive system in charge of the temporary maintenance of
information in view of its on-going processing. Lying at the centre of cognition, it has become …

Auditory distraction: A duplex‐mechanism account
RW Hughes - PsyCh Journal, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
A body of laboratory work is reviewed suggesting that auditory distraction comes in two
functionally distinct forms. Interference‐by‐process is produced when the involuntary …

Cognitive control of auditory distraction: impact of task difficulty, foreknowledge, and working memory capacity supports duplex-mechanism account.
The influence of top-down cognitive control on 2 putatively distinct forms of distraction was
investigated. Attentional capture by a task-irrelevant auditory deviation (eg, a female-spoken …

Linguistic processing of task-irrelevant speech at a cocktail party
Paying attention to one speaker in a noisy place can be extremely difficult, because to-be-
attended and task-irrelevant speech compete for processing resources. We tested whether …

Interference by process, not content, determines semantic auditory distraction
Distraction by irrelevant background sound of visually-based cognitive tasks illustrates the
vulnerability of attentional selectivity across modalities. Four experiments centred on …

“Unattended, distracting or irrelevant”: Theoretical implications of terminological choices in auditory selective attention research
For seventy years, auditory selective attention research has focused on studying the
cognitive mechanisms of prioritizing the processing a 'main'task-relevant stimulus, in the …

Working memory capacity offers resistance to mind‐wandering and external distraction in a context‐specific manner
The present study examined the impact of mind‐wandering and distraction in silent and
noisy studying environments and how individual differences in working memory capacity …

Auditory distraction in semantic memory: A process-based approach
Five experiments demonstrate auditory-semantic distraction in tests of memory for semantic
category-exemplars. The effects of irrelevant sound on category-exemplar recall are shown …
