Overview

Arthur Wingfield is affiliated with Brandeis University in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on fields related to neuroscience and psychology, with a particular emphasis on cognitive neuroscience and developmental and educational psychology.

The scientist has contributed notably to research in hearing loss and rehabilitation, neurobiology of language and bilingualism, and speech and audio processing. Their work also covers topics in noise effects and management, hearing-related genetics including cochlea and tinnitus, reading and literacy development, and phonetics and phonology research.

Wingfield's recent publications include studies in various peer-reviewed journals. Notable papers include:

  • "Anticipatory Baseline Pupil Diameter Is Sensitive to Differences in Hearing Thresholds," 2020, Frontiers in Psychology
  • "The Principle of Least Effort and Comprehension of Spoken Sentences by Younger and Older Adults," 2021, Frontiers in Psychology
  • "Age-Related Differences in the Online Processing of Spoken Semantic Context and the Effect of Semantic Competition: Evidence From Eye Gaze," 2021, Journal of Speech Language and Hearing Research
  • "Adults with cochlear implants can use prosody to determine the clausal structure of spoken sentences," 2021, The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
  • "Strategic Pauses Relieve Listeners from the Effort of Listening to Fast Speech: Data Limited and Resource Limited Processes in Narrative Recall by Adult Users of Cochlear Implants," 2023, Trends in Hearing

Wingfield frequently collaborates with a consistent group of researchers, including:

  • Ryan M. O'Leary
  • Mario A. Svirsky
  • Nicole Hope Capach
  • Nicole M. Amichetti
  • Jonathan D. Neukam

The primary venues for their work include:

  • Frontiers in Psychology
  • Journal of Speech Language and Hearing Research
  • Trends in Hearing
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America

Wingfield's publication record demonstrates a focus on understanding auditory processing, particularly in relation to aging populations and individuals with hearing impairments such as cochlear implant users. Their research crosses multidisciplinary domains, engaging with signal processing as well as experimental and cognitive psychology approaches.
