Age-related experience in audio-visual speech perception
نویسندگان
چکیده
The current study addresses the changing use of audio and visual cues in audio-visual speech perception during adulthood by testing young and middle-aged adults using stimuli with incongruent audio-visual consonants. Young adults gave more audio responses and fewer visual responses than middle-aged adults. Results show no age differences in auditory or visual sensitivity. The discrepancy in use of modalities is therefore concluded to most likely be due to middle-aged adults being more flexible perceivers than young adults resulting from more audio-visual speech experience.

Do gender differences in audio-visual benefit and visual influence in audio-visual speech perception emerge with age?
Gender and age have been found to affect adults' audio-visual (AV) speech perception. However, research on adult aging focuses on adults over 60 years, who have an increasing likelihood for cognitive and sensory decline, which may confound positive effects of age-related AV-experience and its interaction with gender. Observed age and gender differences in AV speech perception may also depend on...
متن کاملExploring early developmental changes in face scanning patterns during the perception of audio-visual mismatch of speech cues
Young infants are capable of integrating auditory and visual information and their speech perception can be influenced by visual cues, while 5-month-olds are able to detect a mismatch between the mouth articulation and the speech sound. From 6 months of age infants gradually shift their attention away from eyes and towards mouth in articulating faces, potentially to benefit from intersensory re...
متن کاملAudio-visual speech perception: a developmental ERP investigation
Being able to see a talking face confers a considerable advantage for speech perception in adulthood. However, behavioural data currently suggest that children fail to make full use of these available visual speech cues until age 8 or 9. This is particularly surprising given the potential utility of multiple informational cues during language learning. We therefore explored this at the neural l...
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...
متن کاملChanges in audio-visual speech perception during adulthood
Audiovisual speech perception research has shown an increasing use of visual information from infancy to young adulthood. The current study extends these findings by examining audiovisual speech perception from young adulthood to mid-adulthood by addressing the extent to which audio, visual and audiovisual cues are used for place of articulation identification. Responses were gathered with youn...
