Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Aim 3, Audiovisual Sentence TrainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants receive the same training paradigm from Aim 1 with the most effective feedback type from Aim 1. But the sentences are audiovisual and in speech-shaped noise. Participants receive pre- and post-training tests.

Group II: Aim 3, Audiovisual Nonsense Word TrainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants train to recognize audiovisual spoken nonsense words that name nonsense pictures and are presented in speech-shaped noise. The paradigm is the same as in Aim 2. Participants receive pre- and post-training tests.

Group III: Aim 2, Nonsense Word TrainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants train to lipread nonsense words that name nonsense pictures. Participants receive pre- and post-training tests.

Group IV: Aim 1, Sentence Training: Word FeedbackExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

In Aim 1, which is sentence lipreading training, the intervention compares the provision of three different types of feedback for lipreading. This arm gives printed whole word feedback following an attempt to lipread each sentence. Word feedback is for correct words and words that are perceptually similar but incorrect responses. Participants receive pre- and post-training tests.

Group V: Aim 1, Sentence Training: Sentence FeedbackExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

In Aim 1, which is sentence lipreading training, the intervention compares the provision of three different types of feedback for lipreading. This arm gives printed whole sentence feedback following an attempt to lipread each sentence. Participants receive pre- and post-training tests.

Group VI: Aim 1, Sentence Training: Consonant FeedbackExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

In Aim 1, which is sentence lipreading training, the intervention compares the provision of three different types of feedback for lipreading. This arm gives printed consonant word feedback following an attempt to lipread each sentence. Word feedback is for correct words, but only the consonants are given as feedback for words that are perceptually similar but incorrect responses. Participants receive pre- and post-training tests.

Group VII: Aim 1, Sentence Training: No Training ControlActive Control1 Intervention

Participants receive only the pre- and post-training tests.
