| Résumé : | Previous work has shown that when a subject is seated with body, head, and eyes oriented in the same direction, speech coming from the front is better perceived than speech coming from other directions. The question asked was which segments of the body are critical in determining the advantage of the frontal position. It was found that the effect does not depend exclusively on the orientation of the head relative to the source, since the advantage is reduced not only when the head is deviated laterally towards a competing source, but also when the gaze or the trunk and the limbs are deviated in that direction. Frontal position. Frontal position advantage is thus not a purely acoustical or auditory phenomenon, but depends, at least partly, on interactions at deeper levels. |
