Effects of Age on the Neural Tracking of Speech in Noise
These findings suggest that older adults may rely on theta-band neural tracking as a compensatory mechanism. However, regression results alone were not sufficient to fully explain how working memory affects neural tracking, and additional cognitive and linguistic factors should be considered in future studies. Furthermore, cognitive assessments were administered only to older adults, which limits the ability to determine whether group differences are driven by age, hearing, or cognitive status-a major limitation that should be addressed in future research.
