Auditory distraction has been globally studied under the lens of two main phenomena: the deviation effect and the changing-state effect. Yet, it remains unclear whether they rely on common cerebral mechanisms and, concomitantly, what psychophysiological responses they can trigger. This scoping review provides a state of knowledge regarding psychophysiological indices of auditory distraction. Records published between 2001 and 2021 on the deviation effect and the changing-state effect with psychophysiological measures were extracted from PubMed, ERIC, PsycNet, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect. Records investigating task-relevant sounds, as well as those that failed to observe performance disruption, or to include a control condition or a concurrent cognitive task, were excluded from the review. The Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials was used for bias evaluation. Fifteen records were reviewed, mainly characterized by randomization, measurement and selection of results biases. Some markers were specific to the distraction type, but nonspecific responses were also found. Overall, we outline the main markers used to index auditory distraction, present their meaning for understanding underpinning mechanisms, and discuss implications and knowledge gaps that need to be filled to fully exploit psychophysiology for auditory distraction research.","PeriodicalId":72332,"journal":{"name":"Auditory perception & cognition","volume":" 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135285995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this relationship was studied mainly for pure tones (PTs) and not for complex sounds, mainly speech.Methods Twenty-four young adults with normal hearing participated in the study. Hearing thresholds were measured to five steady-state speech shape noise (SSN) of/a/, /i/, /u/, /sh/, and /m/, three PTs (0.5, 1, and 4 kHz), and white noise (WN). Thresholds were measured separately for five durations: 1, 5, 20, 50, and 100 ms.Results As hypothesized, temporal summation for PTs was greater than for complex sounds. PTs had greater temporal summation for 500 and 1,000 Hz, than 4,000 Hz, but SSNs had the reverse pattern, with less temporal summation for sounds with a lower first formant than for those with a higher one.Discussion Noise stimuli differ in energy and spectral range, and these two factors seem to affect temporal summation.

Yet, how events that repeat are encoded and maintained in the brain and how the brain responds to events that reoccur at later points in time is not well understood. In two electroencephalography experiments, participants listened to a longer, ongoing white-noise sound which comprised shorter, frozen noise snippets that repeated at a regular 2-Hz rate. In several conditions, the snippet repetition discontinued for a brief period after which the noise snippet reoccurred. The experiments aimed to answer whether neural activity becomes entrained by the regular repetition of noise snippets, whether entrained neural activity self-sustains during the discontinuation period, and how the brain responds to a reoccurring noise snippet. Results show that neural activity is entrained by the snippet repetition, but there was no evidence for self-sustained neural activity during the discontinuation period. However, the auditory cortex responded with similar magnitude to a noise snippet reoccurring after a brief discontinuation as it responded to a noise snippet for which the snippet repetition had not been discontinued. This response invariance was observed for different onset times of the reoccurring noise snippet relative to the previously established regularity. The results thus demonstrate that the auditory cortex sensitively responds to, and thus maintains a memory trace of, previously learned acoustic noise independent of temporal interruptions.KEYWORDS: Electroencephalographyfrozen noisetemporal regularityauditory perceptionneural synchronization AcknowledgmentsWe thank Christie Tsagopoulos for her help with data collection for both experiments.
