Listening effort is increasingly recognized as a factor in communication, particularly for and with nonnative speakers, for the elderly, for individuals with hearing impairment and/or for those working in noise. However, as highlighted by McGarrigle et al., International Journal of Audiology, 2014, 53, 433-445, the term "listening effort" encompasses a wide variety of concepts, including the engagement and control of multiple possibly distinct neural systems for information processing, and the affective response to the expenditure of those resources in a given context. Thus, experimental or clinical methods intended to objectively quantify listening effort may ultimately reflect a complex interaction between the operations of one or more of those information processing systems, and/or the affective and motivational response to the demand on those systems. Here we examine theoretical, behavioral, and psychophysiological factors related to resolving the question of what we are measuring, and why, when we measure "listening effort."

倾听努力：我们是在衡量认知或情感，还是两者都在？

人们越来越多地将听力努力视为交流的一个因素，特别是对于与非母语人士的交流，老年人，有听力障碍的个人和/或从事噪声工作的人。但是，正如McGarrigle等人在《国际听力学杂志》（International Journal of Audiology）2014年第53期第433-445页中所强调的那样，术语“倾听努力”涵盖了各种各样的概念，包括参与和控制多个可能不同的神经系统进行信息处理。 ，以及在特定情况下对这些资源支出的情感反应。因此，旨在客观地量化倾听努力的实验或临床方法可能最终反映出这些信息处理系统中一个或多个的操作之间的复杂相互作用，和/或对这些系统需求的情感和动机响应。在这里，我们研究了与解决我们正在测量的内容以及为什么在测量“聆听努力”时为何相关的理论，行为和心理生理因素。本文归类为：语言学>心理语言和大脑心理学>理论和方法心理学>注意心理学>情感和动机。
