The Moderating Effect of Success Importance on the Relationship Between Listening Demand and Listening Effort.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Relationships between cognitive and sensory functioning become stronger with advancing age, and the debate on underlying mechanisms continues. Interestingly, the potential mechanism of compensation by the unaffected sensory modality has so far been investigated in younger age groups with congenital sensory i...
