Shadowing is the process by which participants are required to repeat aloud the content of a specific message they are instructed to attend to in a dichotic listening task. This is done to ensure that they are paying attention to that particular message, and not getting distracted by other competing messages presented in the other ear. Rehearsing, echoing, and delayed repeating are not typically used in dichotic listening experiments.
