Analyzing the effect of collaborative interaction on subsequent decision-making tasks offers the potential to quantitatively evaluate criteria that are indicative of successful communication. While many studies have explored how collaboration aids decision-making, little is known about how communicative barriers, such as loud background noise or hearing impairment, affect this process. This study investigated how collaborative triadic conversations held in different background noise levels affected the decision-making of individual group members in a subsequent individual task. Thirty normal-hearing participants were recruited and organized into triads. First, each participant answered a series of binary general knowledge questions and provided a confidence rating along with each response. The questions were then discussed in triads in either loud (78 dB) or soft (48 dB) background noise. Participants then answered the same questions individually again. Three decision-making measures - stay/switch behavior, decision convergence, and voting strategy - were used to assess if and how participants adjusted their initial decisions after the conversations. The results revealed an interaction between initial confidence rating and noise level: participants were more likely to modify their decisions towards high-confidence prior decisions, and this effect was more pronounced when the conversations had taken place in loud noise. We speculate that this may be because low-confidence opinions are less likely to be voiced in noisy environments compared to high-confidence opinions. The findings demonstrate that decision-making tasks can be designed for conversation studies with groups of more than two participants, and that such tasks can be used to explore how communicative barriers impact subsequent decision-making of individual group members.</p>","PeriodicalId":48678,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Hearing","volume":"28 ","pages":"23312165241305058"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11639005/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142819739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reports of hearing-impaired people indicate that strenuous listening situations occurring throughout the day lead to feelings of fatigue at the end of the day. The aim of the present study was to develop a suitable test sequence to evoke and measure listening effort (LE) and listening-related fatigue (LRF), and, to evaluate the influence of hearing aid use on both dimensions in mild to moderately hearing-impaired participants. The chosen approach aims to reconstruct a representative acoustic day (Time Compressed Acoustic Day [TCAD]) by means of an eight-part hearing-test sequence with a total duration of approximately 2½ h. For this purpose, the hearing test sequence combined four different listening tasks with five different acoustic scenarios and was presented to the 20 test subjects using virtual acoustics in an open field measurement in aided and unaided conditions. Besides subjective ratings of LE and LRF, behavioral measures (response accuracy, reaction times), and an attention test (d2-R) were performed prior to and after the TCAD. Furthermore, stress hormones were evaluated by taking salivary samples. Subjective ratings of LRF increased throughout the test sequence. This effect was observed to be higher when testing unaided. In three of the eight listening tests, the aided condition led to significantly faster reaction times/response accuracies than in the unaided condition. In the d2-R test, an interaction in processing speed between time (pre- vs. post-TCAD) and provision (unaided vs. aided) was found suggesting an influence of hearing aid provision on LRF. A comparison of the averaged subjective ratings at the beginning and end of the TCAD shows a significant increase in LRF for both conditions.
