Effects of Age on Serial Recall of Natural and Synthetic Speech.

Humes, Larry E.; And Others

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v36 n3 p634-39 Jun 1993

This study, involving 24 young and elderly normal-hearing adults, addressed the effects of aging on auditory serial-recall performance for natural and synthetic words. Serial recall of monosyllabic words was not affected by age per se or by rate of presentation, but word difficulty affected recall for both groups. (Author/JDD)
