Journal Article
Okely, J. A., Akeroyd, M. A., Allerhand, M., Starr, J. M., & Deary, I. J. (2019). Longitudinal associations between hearing loss and general cognitive ability: the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936. Psychology and Aging, 34(6), 766-779. https://doi.org/10.1037/pag0000385

Hearing impairment is associated with poorer cognitive function in later life. We tested for the potential contribution of childhood cognitive ability to this relationship. Childhood cognitive ability is strongly related to cognitive function in olde...

Distinct mechanisms govern recalibration to audio-visual discrepancies in remote and recent history (2019)
Journal Article
Watson, D. M., Akeroyd, M. A., Roach, N. W., & Webb, B. S. (2019). Distinct mechanisms govern recalibration to audio-visual discrepancies in remote and recent history. Scientific Reports, 9, Article 8513. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-44984-9

To maintain perceptual coherence, the brain corrects for discrepancies between the senses. If, for example, lights are consistently offset from sounds, representations of auditory space are remapped to reduce this error (spatial recalibration). While...

Hearing Research, 377, 330-338. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heares.2019.02.008

INTRODUCTION: Prevalence estimates depend largely on the nature of the question asked to define the presence of the health condition, and the literature on the population burden of tinnitus and hearing difficulties is no different in this respect. Th...
