PROJECT SUMMARY Older adults have more difficulty than younger adults identifying auditory (AO) and visual (VO) speech. Despite these unisensory deficits, some older adults can identify audiovisual (AV) speech as accurately as younger adults. Older adults have been found to exhibit more cross-modal plasticity, multisensory integration, and frontal-cortical modulation of sensory input, but the extent to which these age-related changes are beneficial and explain the conserved AV speech of older adults is a critical knowledge gap. The aims of the proposed research program will use an innovative neural systems approach incorporating electrophysiology (EEG), structural imaging (sMRI), and…
