The resulting score is a useful tool for measuring loss in audibility, but it fails to consider the listening effort required to achieve that score. The authors propose that recording the subject's electroencephalographic brain activity during the test evokes potentials that permit estimation of the listening effort expended. These AERPs will help scientists reach a better understanding of the interplay among the many ongoing serial and parallel processes involved while actively listening to words. Their scientific illustrations reveal the AERPs' ability to broaden the evaluation beyond the simple percentage of correctly repeated words to a more nuanced estimation, including the listening effort expended in the detection of the onset of a word and the evaluation of its semantic meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom this research, audiologists will find that there is a much wider array of data output to be gathered from a simple test that clinicians have employed for over half a century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Martin, Katharine Fitzharris, James Jerger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1495402401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781495402401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Jeffrey Martin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44064811188479,"sku":"9781495402401","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b1c74a27-ff25-4e91-a000-9ce5fb0e7d9c.jpg?v=1685397703","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/auditory-event-related-potentials-to-words-jeffrey-martin-9781495402401","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
