Effects of tempo in radio commercials on young and elderly listeners
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of tempo manipulations in radio commercials, on listeners’ evaluation, cognition and persuasion. Questionnaire scores from 131 young and 130 elderly listeners show effects of tempo manipulation on listeners’ subjective evaluation, but not on their cognitive scores. Tempo effects on persuasion scores are modulated by the listeners’ general disposition towards radio and radio commercials. In sum, it seems that not age but listeners’ general disposition is of importance in evaluating tempo manipulation of radio commercials.

Electrophysiologic correlates of attention versus distraction in young and elderly listeners.
This study examined the effects of selective attention versus stimulus competition on the late auditory evoked potential (LAEP) in 20 young and 20 elderly listeners. In a series of test runs, different oddball tonal sequences were presented to one or both ears, and listeners were instructed to attend to tones at a specific target ear. Peak amplitudes were recorded for the N1, P2, and the early ...
متن کاملEffects of contralateral speech competition on auditory event-related potentials recorded from elderly listeners: brain map study.
Topographic brain mapping was used to investigate the ability of young and elderly female listeners to attend to tones at one ear in the presence of speech competition at the opposite ear. An oddball stimulus presentation paradigm was used to record the N1, P2, and P300 components of the late auditory evoked potential from 19 scalp locations. With speech competition, elderly listeners exhibited...
متن کاملSpeech recognition and working memory capacity in young-elderly listeners: effects of hearing sensitivity.
Young normal-hearing listeners and young-elderly listeners between 55 and 65 years of age, ranging from near-normal hearing to moderate hearing loss, were compared using different speech recognition tasks (consonant recognition in quiet and in noise, and time-compressed sentences) and working memory tasks (serial word recall and digit ordering). The results showed that the group of young-elderl...
متن کاملAuditory filter shapes in normal-hearing, noise-masked normal, and elderly listeners.
To dissociate the effects of age and hearing impairment on changes in frequency selectivity, auditory filter shapes were measured at 2 kHz in four groups of subjects: (1) normal-hearing young subjects; (2) normal-hearing elderly subjects; (3) elderly hearing-impaired listeners; and (4) young normal-hearing listeners with simulated hearing losses. Filter shapes were derived using a modified vers...
متن کاملEffects of articulation styles on perception of modulated tempos in violin excerpts
We investigated effects of legato, staccato and pizzicato articulation styles on the perception of modulated tempos. Seventy-two music majors served as participants. Two solo violin excerpts were chosen with contrasting rhythmic rates and were recorded in all three articulation styles. Examples were presented to listeners in three conditions of tempo modulation: gradual increase, gradual decrea...
