Elastic attention: Enhanced, then sharpened response to auditory input as attentional load increases
A long debate in selective attention research is whether attention generally enhances sensory response or sharpens neural tuning by suppressing response to non-optimal input. A combination of the two processes may arise as a function of processing load: an uncertain listener might use a broad atte...
