Brief Summary:
Participating in spoken conversation constitutes a multitasking situation with concurrent demands on sensorimotor auditory postural and cognitive functioning memory updating task switching and inhibition As aging affects multisensory integration and cognitive control these higher-order processes are likely to put accumulating constraints on listening as adults grow older By training listening skills not solely auditory skills the investigators aim at improving overall communication and quality of life Moreover the investigators aim at freeing up cognitive resources in the listen task the better one gets at a certain domain specific task the less one needs to draw from other resources and the more resources are free for another concurrent task The interdisciplinary approach will inform us about ideal audiological rehabilitation or intervention approaches Pre-posttests comprise behavioral measures to evaluate listening skills and transfer towards non-trained measures The training is tablet-based and can be performed at home
Detailed Description:
Goals of the study
Investigate transfer of listening skills to non-trained listening
To develop evidence-based guidelines for clinical audiological rehabilitation
Investigate if the inclusion of cognitive control frees up cognitive resources to use for another concurrent task
Inform about retention following listening training
All participants will be assessed 4 times with a 4-week interval in between Participants in the first arm will perform the training during the first two weeks 4 weeks after training ended and 8 weeks after training ended retention of training gains will be assessed Participants in the second arm will perform the delayed training This is to control for procedural learning effects After 4 weeks they will start training for 4 weeks After training retention of training gains will be assessed after 4 weeks The third arm will start with active control training listening to stories for 4 weeks followed by training for 4 weeks After these 8 weeks retention was measured 4 weeks later Participants are randomly allocated to a group The efficacy of training will be determined with a within-subject design ie baseline session outcomes will be compared to the final session outcomes of the randomized control trial
