Aging does not affect auditory motion discrimination based on interaural level differences.

ABSTRACT: It is well known that aging affects fundamental perceptual functions. Numerous studies have investigated age-related changes in visual motion perception and demonstrated that aging impairs motion processing. However, limited studies have explored age-related changes in auditory motion perception, and whether aging influences auditory motion perception based on interaural level differences remains unknown. This study examined age-related differences in the discrimination of auditory motion direction based on interaural level differences. We conducted two experiments to estimate the signal-to-noise ratio and motion coherence thresholds required to discriminate auditory motion and visual motion directions, respectively, in younger and older adults. Results showed that age significantly impair
