Popis:	In speech interactions, people routinely reason about each other's auditory perspective and change their manner of speaking accordingly, by adjusting their voice to overcome noise or distance, or by pausing for especially loud sounds and resuming when conditions are more favorable for the listener. In this paper we report the findings of a listening study motivated both by this observation and a prototype auditory interface for a mobile robot that monitors the aural parameters of its environment and infers its user's listening requirements. The results provide significant empirical evidence of the utility of simulated auditory perspective taking and the inferred use of loudness and/or pauses to overcome the potential of ambient noise to mask synthetic speech.
