Rate Discrimination Training May Partially Restore Temporal Processing Abilities from Age-Related Deficits

Abstract: The ability to understand speech in complex environments depends on the brain’s ability to preserve the precise timing characteristics of the speech signal. Age-related declines in temporal processing may contribute to the older adult’s experience of communication difficulty in challenging listening conditions. This study’s purpose was to evaluate the effects of rate discrimination training on auditory temporal processing. A double-blind, randomized control design assigned 77 young normal-hearing, older normal… Show more

“…It remains the case, however, that training that targets temporal-processing abilities specifically for older CI users has the potential to be particularly beneficial because it targets a pervasive auditory limitation of older people. Moreover, large gains can be observed in older acoustic-hearing listeners with a training regimen focused on auditory temporal processing ( Anderson et al , 2022 ).…”

“…1(B) ]. It is assumed that training with time-compressed speech engenders auditory learning of abbreviated acoustic speech cues ( Golomb et al , 2007 ), improves a listener's attention to the speech materials, and/or improves general auditory temporal-processing abilities, as demonstrated with nonspeech stimuli in acoustic-hearing listeners ( Anderson et al , 2022 ) and CI listeners ( Goldsworthy and Shannon, 2014 ; Bissmeyer et al , 2020 ). However, without a control group, it is not possible to determine if primarily perceptual or procedural learning occurred.…”
