The ability to hear and understand speech in complex acoustic environments follows a prolonged time course of development. The purpose of this article is to provide a general overview of the literature describing age effects in susceptibility to auditory masking in the context of speech recognition, including a summary of findings related to the maturation of processes thought to facilitate segregation of target from competing speech.
Data from published and ongoing studies are discussed, with a focus on synthesizing results from studies that address age-related changes in the ability to perceive speech in the presence of a small number of competing talkers.
This review provides a summary of the current state of knowledge that is valuable for researchers and clinicians. It highlights the importance of considering listener factors, such as age and hearing status, as well as stimulus factors, such as masker type, when interpreting masked speech recognition data.
在复杂声学环境中听到并理解言语的能力遵循一个长期的发展过程。本文的目的是对描述言语识别背景下听觉掩蔽易感性的年龄效应的文献进行总体概述,包括对与促进目标语音与竞争语音分离的过程成熟相关的研究结果的总结。
讨论了已发表和正在进行的研究数据,重点是综合那些研究少量竞争说话者存在时言语感知能力与年龄相关变化的研究结果。
本综述总结了当前的知识状态,对研究人员和临床医生具有重要价值。它强调了在解释掩蔽言语识别数据时考虑听众因素(如年龄和听力状况)以及刺激因素(如掩蔽类型)的重要性。
