Discussion

EEG study reveals how attentional resources are allocated in speech planning and comprehension, suggesting unexpected interactions.

Listeners can effectively distribute attentional resources between speech planning and comprehension simultaneously, and do not show an attentional trade-off.
The attention probe effect occurred 100 msec after probe onset, indicating a response mechanism present across all conditions.
Neither word expectancy nor speech planning influenced the timing or strength of the attention probe effect, challenging previously held assumptions.
Findings suggest that linguistic attention probes may not reliably capture variations in temporal attention within dual-task scenarios.

Hustá et al. (2025) studied this question.
