Abstract

This study investigated age-related differences in sensitivity to temporal cues in modified natural speech sounds. Listeners included young noise-masked subjects, elderly normal-hearing subjects, and elderly hearing-impaired subjects. Four speech continua were presented to listeners, with stimuli from each continuum varying in a single temporal dimension. The acoustic cues varied in separate continua were voice-onset time, vowel duration, silence duration, and transition duration. In separate conditions, the listeners identified the word stimuli, discriminated two stimuli in a same-different paradigm, and discriminated two stimuli in a 3-interval, 2-alternative forced-choice procedure. Results showed age-related differences in the identification function crossover points for the continua that varied in silence duration and transition duration. All listeners demonstrated shorter difference limens (DLs) for the three-interval paradigm than the two-interval paradigm, with older hearing-impaired listeners showing larger DLs than the other listener groups for the silence duration cue. The findings support the general hypothesis that aging can influence the processing of specific temporal cues that are related to consonant manner dis...Continue Reading
