A new set of 24 stories was generated and participants were presented with 4 stories in each of 6 blocks. Speech-clarity levels were the same as in Experiment 1 (i.e., clear speech and SNRs ranging from +30 to –2 dB SNR). In Experiment 2, participants were instructed to ignore the stories and instead perform a visual 1-back task. In no part of the experiment were participants instructed to attend to the speech.
