Thanks HK, that's helpful, too! Do you experience both sides simultaneously with full comprehension, or does it come in parts on a lag? I'm thinking of a conversation that goes like this (where columns across people correspond to simultaneous speech):
Person 1: A B C
Person 2: D E F
Does this just process as ABC and DEF to you? Or does it come in as ABCDEF? Or some other combination? (ETA: removed obviously impossible case)
I wonder if we have any neuroscientists here who know of a basis for why some people are able to process simultaneous conversations...do they have a larger working memory, use separate types of working memory for input v. output, etc.
