Abstract

The present book aims at developing a multi-method, “process-oriented” assessment approach for testing effects of varying speech transmission quality on information processing in human listeners. In addition to methods for conventional subjective speech quality assessment, this chapter introduces more recently employed behavioral and neurophysiological techniques and paradigms. Afterward, those different method classes are compared in view of several measurement criteria.
