Funded Activity Summary

Elderly speech perception in noise. This project adopts an innovative approach to understand problems that elderly people have in recognising speech in noise. Using a detailed computational (glimpsing) model, measures of auditory and visual information and novel priming methods, the project aims to determine precisely what processing is carried out in the early stages of perception. Quantifying and systematically varying input information and measuring perceptual processing are essential for pinpointing where speech perception problems arise and provide a foundation for evaluating remediation and training. This research aims to contribute to theories of speech recognition and has practical application for speech assessment.
