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。)长期的 这项建议的目的是让人们更清楚地了解 伴随正常和异常衰老的接受性沟通问题 流程。这一目标将通过以下调查实现 知觉错误的模式是相对于认知、感觉、 和声学因素导致对衰老的更清晰的理解 听觉系统及其过程，并最终实现更好的诊断， 干预和康复技术和战略。一共有三个 提出了多方面的实验；每个实验都检查了 言语感知和老化的听觉系统。累积起来，这些数据 将成为对老年人的感知言语错误进行建模的基础 听者；老年性耳聋将是每个 建议进行的研究。 每项研究的具体目的是：1)研究…的相对用法 由老年人提供的背景和听觉提示；2)检查 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扮演的角色；3) 观察源于短期记忆或工作记忆的知觉错误 进程和编码限制。
