Abstract
Implicit in the conceptualization of listening as human information processing is the assumption that comprehension is dependent, in part, upon an individual's level of cognitive complexity. That assumption was tested in two separate studies. Results indicate that high‐complex subjects comprehend more listening material than do their cognitively simpler counterparts.Keywords
