Forty normal-hearing listeners between the ages of 19 and 33 yr (mean = 21.0) participated in this experiment. Thirty-five were female. The subjects were recruited from courses at The Ohio State University and received either course credit or a monetary incentive for participation. All had pure-tone audiometric thresholds at or below 20 dB hearing level (HL) at octave frequencies from 250 to 8000 Hz (ANSI, 2004, 2010). None had previous exposure to the sentence materials used in this study.
