Electrophysiological Gap Detection Thresholds: Effects of Age and Comparison with a Behavioral Measure
Background: Temporal processing ability has been linked to speech understanding ability and older
adults often complain of difficulty understanding speech in difficult listening situations. Temporal processing
can be evaluated using gap detection procedures. There is some research showing that gap detection can
be evaluated using an electrophysiological procedure. However, there is currently no research establishing
gap detection threshold using the N1-P2 response.
