Age related changes show an interaction between which two themes?
Changes in Hearing & Cognitive Functioning Declines
100
_______ are as good if not better than ________ at using sentential context to reduce ambiguity. (Pichora-Fuller, 2008)
Older adults, younger adults

What is the ability to inhibit the processing of irrelevant information?
What is inhibitory control
100
A type of masking that aims to simulate situations that test a person's ability to focus on one stream of information while suppressing another.
What is informational masking
200
Which hypothesis is defined as the reduction in inhibitory ability causes older adults to perform worse than younger adults on working memory tasks?
Inhibitory Deficit Hypothesis
200
Alain et al. (2004) used which event related potential (ERP) to conclude that older adults rely more heavily on controlled processing than automatic processing?
MMN (mismatch negativity)
200
What are some of the benefits of hearings aids as an intervention?
What is improved auditory function and spoken language comprehension, increased competence in daily living activities, improved quality of life, slowing of symptoms of cognitive decline
200
A type of processing in which higher order information is used to process and differentiate lower level information. Older adults rely on this type more than younger adults.
What is top-down processsing
300
What are the 3 temporal cues related to speech processing? (HINT: They all start with the same letter)
Subsegmental Segmental Suprasegmental
300
Is cognitive load increased or decreased with spatial segregation? (Murphy et al., 2006)
What is Increased
300
What three factors play a role in the effects of aging on language processing?
What is working memory capacity, inhibitory control, and processing speed
300
The effect that researchers exploit using interaural timing differences to control where a listener spatially perceives the location of a signal.
What is the precedence effect
400
Executive processes organize and delegate required responsibilities for processing acoustic stimulus. What is the role of mid level processing?
Focusing attention
400
What were the two issues with the early correlational studies looking at auditory and cognitive competence in relation to performance on tests of speech recognition?
What is cognitive measures may not have been the best, not everyday listening situations
400
Name some of the comprehensive rehabilitation strategies used for a person with hearing loss.
What is coping strategies, development of self-efficacy, use of contextual information and conversation strategies to compensate, partner to produce more easily understood speech, reduce ambient noise and distraction, improve lighting (environmental factors)
400
The name of the test used in two of the studies on source segregation. Example: "ready charlie, go to green one now"
What is coordinate response measure (CRM)
500
Name 2 of the 3 difficulties due to loss of neural synchrony that older listeners experience in complex listening situations.
-identifying a talker -discriminating between talkers based on their f0 -tracking talkers in complex listening situation
500
Which type of stimulus was used to evaluate the temporal amplitude envelope cues while minimizing pitch related information? (Sheldon et al. 2006)
What is noise vocoded speech
500
(Blank) rather than (blank) may be responsible for older adults' poorer performance in speeded speech conditions.
What is Auditory decline; Cognitive slowing
500
A type of processing that begins by analyzing information in the periphery before reaching higher order processes.
What is bottom-up processing
