Masking release for data reported in Experiment II. Masking release was calculated by subtracting each subject’s sentence recognition performance in the presence of the foreign language SS and TM masker minus their performance in the English SS and TM masker, respectively (i.e., Dutch SS minus English SS and Mandarin SS minus English SS; Dutch TM minus English TM and Mandarin TM minus English TM). The masking release observed for the Mandarin SS – English SS masker was significantly greater than the masking release observed for the TM masker conditions. However, there was not a significant difference in masking release between the two SS masker comparisons, nor the two TM masker comparisons (indicated by ‘n.s.’). The significant interaction between language and masker type is indicated by an ‘*’.
