Fig. 2.

Time-compressed speech identification scores for younger and older listeners, based on the proportion of correctly identified final-position words from our time-compressed SPIN sentence stimuli. Older listeners are indicated by the dashed line. Younger listeners are indicated by the solid line. Error bars represent 95 % confidence intervals. Compared to younger adults, the identification scores of older adults were significantly lower at 50 and 60 % time compression, exhibiting greater decreases with increased time compression
