Airbus 'Retard' technique

Just wondering what technique you use or have learned to use upon hearing the automated 'Retard' call on landing?

I have seen some airbus pilots closing the throttles upon hearing it immediately and other who close it after the call has been made 4+ times.

Is it just one of those things you 'feel' and decide on the day given the conditions and may differ for every landing? Does the type of aircraft also matter, do the FCOMs differ for the technique used for the 340 vs 320?

AKA.
