Preparatory Switches of Auditory Spatial and Non-Spatial Attention Among Simultaneous Voices by Aureliu Lavric, Elisa Schmied

“…The current study asks if preparation for a switch is also effective when a voice is selected by location. We displayed a word or image 50/800/1400 ms before the onset of two simultaneous dichotic (male and female) voices to indicate whether participants should classify as odd/even the number spoken by the voice on the left or on the right; in another condition, we used gender cues. …”
