Imagine you are at a noisy, crowded party and two voices are talking to you at once. One is your partner’s voice, the other voice is a strangers; which voice are you most likely to hear?
New research by Canadian researchers at Queens University found that it would always be your partners voice that you would tune into.
Age has a big part to play here though! Interestingly they discovered that if you were between 44 and 60 years of age you are also able to then ignore your spouses voice and focus on the stranger’s voice instead. Older couples aged over 60 in the study, favoured the partners voice but then couldn’t ignore it. So why does this happen?
