Eye gaze patterns during audiovisual speech perception and natural conversation

Status: Recruiting

The purpose of this research is to better understand how listeners take advantage of visual cues to support speech perception during conversations. Experiments will characterize these gaze strategies, describe how they vary with hearing ability and conversational context, and examine how differences in gaze behavior relate to listening effort during conversation.
