Objectives: Linguistic context can be used during speech listening to predict what a talker will say next. These predictions may be particularly useful in adverse listening conditions, since they can facilitate speech processing. In this study we inv...

Younger adults may be faster at making semantic predictions, but older adults are more efficient (2025)
Journal Article

While there is strong evidence that younger adults use contextual information to generate semantic predictions, findings from older adults are less clear. Age affects cognition in a variety of different ways that may impact prediction mechanisms; whi...
