Reverberation can degrade speech intelligibility and comprehension, increase cognitive load, and impair memory. Many studies examining reverberation effects use audio-only conditions and stationary background noise. Thus, it remains unclear to what extent findings generalise beyond laboratory setups. In the present stu...

While listening to Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs) in Virtual Reality (VR), background events can reduce both task performance and comfort. We ran an exploratory study with n = 5 participants who listened to ECA dialogues in a virtual open‑plan office while performing a dual‑task paradigm (keyword‑detection and r...

Listening effort reflects the cognitive resources allocated to overcome obstacles in auditory processing. While acoustic degradation (e.g., noise, reverberation) is known to affect listening effort, little is known about how temporal overlap of task processing influences effortful listening in adults. This study examin...
