From: "Francis, Alexander L" <francisa@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2008 12:09:00 -0400 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Does anyone know if there have been any published comparisons of informational masking comparing speech and non-speech conditions (ideally, within the same listeners)? I am aware that the term "informational masking" may be interpreted in a variety of ways, but I'd be interested in any studies relating results any of techniques typically used in such studies, regardless of the specific interpretation.
