TI  - Older adult performance on an altered version of the SSI test.
PG  - 137-45
AB  - The Synthetic Sentence Identification (SSI) test has been used extensively in 
      investigations of reduced speech understanding skills in older adults. In this 
      study the SSI test was altered by adding noise to the competing message and by 
      administering practice lists and equivalent test lists, as well as versions of 
      the test that have 4- and 12-s interstimulus intervals (ISIs), along with the 
      standard 8-s ISI. The purpose was to determine the effect of these alterations on 
      performance in a group of older adults with average pure-tone average 2 values 
      less than 33 dB HL. Performance changed as a function of the ISI, with less 
      rollover occurring for the 4-s ISI condition than the other 2 ISIs.
