Results suggest that cognitive resources, particularly listeners' working memory capacity, are more taxed when deciphering dysarthric versus neurotypical speech. An increased demand on these resources may affect a listener's ability to remember aspects of their conversations with people with dysarthria, even when the speaker is fully intelligible.
