The task of disambiguating speakers, relative to skill at other audio processing tasks, is more similar to disambiguating superimposed faces, relative to skill

The task of disambiguating speakers, relative to skill at other audio processing tasks, is more similar to disambiguating superimposed faces, relative to skill at other vision tasks. It is not similar to quickly recognizing several different faces that are present in a video stream. Tasks requiring simultaneous processing of focused attention on multiple input streams are not very related to human visual or audio processing. These types of tasks are not similar to attending to things in peripheral vision or peripheral audio.
