The Effects Of Distracting Background Audio On Spontaneous Speech, Kacy Nicole Chapman
The Effects Of Distracting Background Audio On Spontaneous Speech, Kacy Nicole Chapman
Theses and Dissertations
This study examined the changes that occur in spontaneous speech when speakers are distracted by background audio. Forty young adults answered open ended questions under five audio conditions (pink noise, movie dialogue, heated debate, classical music, and contemporary music) and a silent condition. Acoustic parameters assessed during the sessions included mean and variability of the fundamental frequency (F0), mean and variability of intensity, speaking time ratio, and disfluency ratio. It was hypothesized that there would be significant increases in the mean and variability of F0 as well as the mean and variability of intensity. There were statistically significant increases in …
