| 抄録: | Age-related decrease in training effect was shown by training of American English /r/-/l/ contrasts on Japanese speakers. This study examined whether the decrease can be explained exclusively by auditory aging, or other, compensatory cognitive processing should be taken into account. Japanese speakers aged 60's participated the experiment. Hearing threshold and spoken word perception test of participants' first language were used to estimate their auditory aging. The word perception test was composed of low-familiar, high-familiar words and mono syllables. The audiograms showed low threshold at high frequencies. The result of the perception test showed that low intelligibility for phonemes with high frequency or short duration, and confusion between contracted sounds and basic sounds. These were particular for low-familiar words and mono syllables. These results suggest that participants had auditory aging emerging as high frequency loss and time-/frequency-resolution degradation. Nonetheless, the acoustic features to distinguish /r/ and /l/ have long duration, low frequencies and wide frequency distance which are supposed to be unaffected by these auditory aging. The effect of word familiarity suggested compensatory cognitive processing involved. These suggest that age-related decrease cannot be explained exclusively by auditory aging, compensatory cognitive processing should be taken into account. |
