DESCRIPTION:Correctly perceiving speech in a noisy environment is difficul
 t for everyone\, but particularly so for older listeners. Age-related hear
 ing loss explains some of the difficulties. However\, it cannot explain al
 l of them as there are considerable individual differences in listening su
 ccess between listeners with comparable hearing profiles. Cognition has be
 en suggested as an additional factor to understand the observed variabilit
 y. However\, much of the cognitive speech perception research to date has 
 concentrated on correlational studies between intuitively chosen cognitive
  tests and practically chosen speech tests. To improve our understanding o
 f the role of cognition in speech perception we need a systematic and theo
 ry-driven approach. In my talk I will first highlight some of the gaps and
  inconsistencies currently existing in the literature on cognitive speech 
 perception and will then outline ways in which we might start filling them
  in.\n\n_Also see https://talks.cam.ac.uk/talk/index/100240_
