Age-related decrease in training effect was shown by training of American English /r/-/l/ contrasts on Japanese speakers. This study examined whether the decrease can be explained exclusively by auditory aging, or other, age-related changes of upper processing should be taken into account. Young, middle-aged and older adults of Japanese speakers participated in the experiment. Hearing threshold and spoken word perception test were used to estimate their auditory aging. The word perception test was composed of three levels of word-familiarity.
The results suggest that participants had auditory aging emerging as high frequency loss and time-/frequency-resolution degradation. Nonetheless, the acoustic features to distinguish /r/ and /l/ are supposed to be unaffected by these auditory aging. The effect of word familiarity implied compensatory cognitive processing involved. These suggest that age-related decrease cannot be explained exclusively by auditory aging, upper processing should be taken into account. |
