Susanne Brouwer (Radboud Universiteit)- Het Cocktail Party Effect: Hoe we elkaar verstaan in een drukke omgeving

In our daily life it is almost never silent in the background. At a festival, in a restaurant or cafe, for example, you hear music or other people talking to each other. Despite that noise, people are usually quite capable of following each other in a conversation. This phenomenon is also known as the Cocktail Party Effect. Susanne Brouwer is a psycholinguistics researcher at Radboud University. In her lecture she will explain how this effect works and under which circumstances we communicate well or less easily with background noise.
