Effects of noise and reverberation on speech perception and listening comprehension of children and adults in a classroom-like setting

Abstract: The effects of classroom noise and background speech on speech perception, measured by word-to-picture matching, and listening comprehension, measured by execution of oral instructions, were assessed in first- and third-grade children and adults in a classroom-like setting. For speech perception, in addition to noise, reverberation time (RT) was varied by conducting the experiment in two virtual classrooms with mean RT = 0.47 versus RT = 1.1 s. Children were more impaired than adults by background sounds in bo… Show more

“…The high occurrence of classroom noise reports should be noted, and this noise disturbs the teacher's speech and voice, and harms its audibility for students (6,7,18) . It should be stressed that the agitation of current students is possibly not compatible with exposition-type classes, a common strategy used by teachers.…”

“…This is possibly due to the fact that the children are learning how to read and write, have less control over their own attention and concentration skills because of their young age, and also because they do not have enough Independence to study by themselves; factors that make the acquisition of written communication more difficult (1,7) .…”

“…Numerous studies have been conducted to measure the impact of ambient noise on auditory skills in the school environment [10][11][12] . There is a body of evidence demonstrating the interference of noise in students' auditory skills, which are necessary to effective comprehension of curricular content 11,13 .…”
