Two experiments explored whether older adults have developed a strategy of compensating
for slower speeds of language processing and hearing loss by relying more on the visual …

Two experiments investigated adult age differences in the distribution of attention across a
speaker's face during auditory-visual language processing. Dots were superimposed on the …

Visible speech and gestures are two forms of available language information that can be
used by listeners to help them understand the speaker's meaning. Previous research has …

Research has shown that speech articulated in a clear manner is easier to understand than
conversationally spoken speech in both the auditory-only (A-only) and auditory-visual (AV) …

Speech processing involves rapid decoding and construction of meaning from a transitory
acoustic signal. Because older adults have been found to be slower in performing many …

When comprehending speech-in-noise (SiN), younger and older adults benefit from seeing
the speaker's mouth, ie visible speech. Younger adults additionally benefit from manual …

Abstract research on language processing and memory for linguistic material in normal
aging has shown dramatic progress over the past decade/the environmental complexity of …

systematically examine how young and elderly adults select segments of normal and
unstructured speech passages and evaluate how speech rate and speech structure affect …

Objective: The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of age on the ability to
identify temporally altered visual speech signals. Design: Two groups of adult lipreaders …

A group of older adults with good hearing and a group with mild-to-moderate hearing loss
were tested for recall of the final three words heard in a running memory task. Near perfect …
