Processing of fast speech by elderly listeners.
This study investigates the relative contributions of auditory and cognitive factors to the common finding that an increase in speech rate affects elderly listeners more than young listeners. Since a direct relation between non-auditory factors, such as age-related cognitive slowing, and fast speech performance has been difficult to demonstrate, the present study took an on-line, rather than of...
متن کاملProcessing of Stuttered Speech by Fluent Listeners
Filled pause disfluencies (e.g., uh) elicit a disfluency bias in listeners: listeners predict that a speaker will name an unfamiliar object, versus a familiar one, when both are equally plausible referents. When listeners receive speaker-specific information indicating that disfluency is not reliably tied to word familiarity, the disfluency bias can be suspended. The first aim of this study was...
متن کاملFactors affecting the recognition of reverberant speech by elderly listeners.
Elderly listeners have been shown to experience greater difficulty with speech understanding than young listeners. The greater difficulty with speech understanding in elderly listeners has been attributed, primarily, to their typical high-frequency sensorineural hearing impairment. However, not all of the observed difficulty can be accounted for by hearing thresholds, leaving the likelihood of ...
متن کاملAuditory temporal processing in elderly listeners.
This paper examines the hypothesis that auditory temporal processing is impaired in elderly listeners. Several recent psychoacoustic studies are reviewed that describe various aspects of temporal processing that appear to be influenced by aging. The temporal phenomena range from measures of temporal resolution and duration discrimination to sequential processing of complex stimulus patterns. Fo...
متن کاملcortical auditory temporal processing abilities in elderly listeners
background and aim: this study investigated whether objective temporal processing paradigms including voice-onset-time, speech-in-noise, and amplitude modulated-broad-band noise (am-bbn) are sensitive to disrupted temporal processing in elderly listeners with normal hearing (age-related-temporal processing deficit). methods: we evaluated 15 adults aged 64–80 years using behavioural measures of ...
