Effect of speech distinctions and age differences on auditory event-related potentials.
نویسندگان
چکیده
P3 event-related potentials were recorded from 37 subjects in two age groups (19-25 and 61-75 years) listening to tones, stop + vowel (CV) monosyllables, and isolated vowels. P3 latencies were found to be significantly longer for older subjects in all stimulus conditions. CV latencies were also significantly longer than simple tone latencies with the increase being approximately 1.30 msec/year. Latencies to the vowel stimuli were somewhat more variable but also tended to be greater than the tone latencies. P3 amplitudes were greater for the tone stimuli than for the speech stimuli, but no significant age effects were found.

Auditory Brainstem Response Wave Amplitude Characteristics as a Diagnostic Tool in Children with Speech Delay with Unknown Causes
Speech delay with an unknown cause is a problem among children. This diagnosis is the last differential diagnosis after observing normal findings in routine hearing tests. The present study was undertaken to determine whether auditory brainstem responses to click stimuli are different between normally developing children and children suffering from delayed speech with unknown causes. In this cr...

Background: The P600 brain wave reflects syntactic processes in response to different first language (L1) syntactic violations, syntactic repair, structural reanalysis, and specific semantic components. Unlike semantic processing, aspects of the second language (L2) syntactic processing differ from the L1, particularly at lower levels of proficiency. At higher L2 proficiency, syntactic violatio...
متن کاملDoes audiovisual speech offer a fountain of youth for old ears? An event-related brain potential study of age differences in audiovisual speech perception.
The current study addressed the question whether audiovisual (AV) speech can improve speech perception in older and younger adults in a noisy environment. Event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded to investigate age-related differences in the processes underlying AV speech perception. Participants performed an object categorization task in three conditions, namely auditory-only (A), visual-...
متن کاملEvent-Related Potentials Associated with Somatosensory Effect in Audio-Visual Speech Perception
Speech perception often involves multisensory processing. Although previous studies have demonstrated visual [1, 2] and somatosensory interactions [3, 4] with auditory processing, it is not clear whether somatosensory information can contribute to the processing of audio-visual speech perception. This study explored the neural consequence of somatosensory interactions in audio-visual speech pro...

Objective: This study was a basic investigation of the ability of concurrent speech segregation in hearing impaired children. Concurrent segregation is one of the fundamental components of auditory scene analysis and plays an important role in speech perception. In the present study, we compared auditory late responses or ALRs between hearing impaired and normal children. Materials & Methods...
