New publications

Evidence of an Effect of Gaming Experience on Visuospatial Attention in Deaf but Not in Hearing... 2020-11-04 Using a test of attentional control, we found that deaf gamers performed on a par with hearing controls, while the performance of deaf non-gamers was poorer. Among hearing controls there was no effect of gaming. This suggests that deaf gamers may have better visuospatial attentional control than deaf non-gamers.
Breathing in Conversation 2020-11-04 This work revisits the problem of breathing cues used for management of speaking turns in multiparty casual conversation.
