Age-related differences in discrimination of an interval separating onsets of successive tone bursts as a function of interval duration
Abstract
The study measured listener sensitivity to increments in the inter-onset interval (IOI) separating pairs of successive 20-ms 4000-Hz tone pulses. A silent interval between the tone pulses was adjusted across conditions to create reference tonal IOI values of 25–600ms. For each condition, a duration DL for increments of the tonal IOI was measured in listeners comprised of young normal-hearing adults and two groups of older adults with and without high-frequency hearing loss. Discrimination performance of all listeners was poorest for the shorter reference IOIs, and improved to stable levels for longer reference intervals exceeding about 200ms. Temporal sensitivity of the young listeners was significantly better than that of the elderly listeners in each condition, with the largest age-related differences observed for the shortest reference interval. Age-related differences were also observed for duration DLs measured using single 4000-Hz tone bursts set to three reference durations in the range 50–200ms. The tone DLs of all listeners were smaller than the corresponding tone-pair IOI DLs, particularly for the shorter reference stimulus durations. There were no significant performance differences observed between the older listeners with and without hearing loss for either discrimination task.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
