[HTML][HTML] Age-related differences in the neural network interactions underlying the predictability gain
Speech comprehension is often challenged by increased background noise, but can be
facilitated via the semantic context of a sentence. This predictability gain relies on an …

Neural processing during older adults' comprehension of spoken sentences: age differences in resource allocation and connectivity
Speech comprehension remains largely preserved in older adults despite significant age-
related neurophysiological change. However, older adults' performance declines more …

Upregulation of cognitive control networks in older adults' speech comprehension
Speech comprehension abilities decline with age and with age-related hearing loss, but it is
unclear how this decline expresses in terms of central neural mechanisms. The current study …

Age-related hearing loss increases full-brain connectivity while reversing directed signaling within the dorsal–ventral pathway for speech
Speech comprehension difficulties are ubiquitous to aging and hearing loss, particularly in
noisy environments. Older adults' poorer speech-in-noise (SIN) comprehension has been …

Dissociable electrophysiological measures of natural language processing reveal differences in speech comprehension strategy in healthy ageing
Healthy ageing leads to changes in the brain that impact upon sensory and cognitive
processing. It is not fully clear how these changes affect the processing of everyday spoken …

Expectancy constraints in degraded speech modulate the language comprehension network
In speech comprehension, the processing of auditory information and linguistic context are
mutually dependent. This functional magnetic resonance imaging study examines how …

Hearing and cognitive decline in aging differentially impact neural tracking of context-supported versus random speech across linguistic timescales
Cognitive decline and hearing loss are common in older adults and often co-occur while

Neural modelling of the semantic predictability gain under challenging listening conditions
When speech intelligibility is reduced, listeners exploit constraints posed by semantic
context to facilitate comprehension. The left angular gyrus (AG) has been argued to drive …
