DESCRIPTION: (Adapted from the Applicant's Abstract.) The long-term objective of this proposal is to provide a clearer understanding of the receptive communication problems concomitant with normal and abnormal aging processes. This goal will be achieved through investigations in which patterns of perceptual errors are examined relative to cognitive, sensory, and acoustic factors leading to a clearer understanding of the aging auditory system and its processes, and ultimately to better diagnostic, intervention and rehabilitation techniques and strategies. There are three multi-faceted experiments proposed; each examines a different aspect of speech perception and the aging auditory system. Cumulatively these data will form a basis for modeling perceptual speech errors for the aging listener; presbycusis will be a significant focal point of each of the proposed studies. The specific aims of each study are: 1) To study the relative use of contextual and acoustical cues by the elderly; 2) To examine the effects of information transmission rate and input capacity (time compression) and its role in types of errors that are produced for elderly listeners; 3) To observe perceptual errors stemming from short-term, or working memory processes and encoding limitations.

描述：（改编自申请人的摘要。）长期 这项建议的目的是为了更清楚地了解 伴随正常和异常衰老的接受性沟通问题 流程. 这一目标将通过调查来实现， 感知错误的模式相对于认知，感觉， 和声学因素，从而更清楚地了解老化 听觉系统及其过程，并最终更好地诊断， 干预和康复技术和战略。 有三 多方面的实验提出;每个检查的不同方面， 言语感知和老化的听觉系统。 累积这些数据 将形成对老化的感知语音错误进行建模的基础 听众;老年性耳聋将是每个人的一个重要焦点， 建议的研究。 每项研究的具体目的是：1）研究的相对使用 2）研究老年人的语境和听觉线索的影响， 信息传输速率和输入容量（时间压缩）及其 在老年听众产生的错误类型中的作用; 3） 观察来自短期记忆或工作记忆的知觉错误 过程和编码限制。
