Abstract
Twelve naive Ss read a passage of English prose at their own speed, and this was tape-recorded and used as the irrelevant message in a dichotic-listening shadowing task. The primary message to which the Ss attended was 1,500 words long, and after the 1,000th word, the irrelevant message was switched noiselessly to delayed auditory feedback (DAF). Finally, Ss were asked to read a 1,000-word passage while experiencing DAF. The results confirm previous findings that the limits of selective attention are exceeded when DAF is the nonattended message and suggest the importance of immediate auditory feedback in a speech-production mechanism that involves specific delays within the system which are associated with a normal speaking rate for each individual.
