“…Rather, the effects of PL are evidenced when the auditory task requires maintenance of stimulus information over extended durations. These results support the general view that sensory factors can interact with perceptual and cognitive processing even for stimuli that are well above threshold (Baldwin, 2002).…”

“…Persons with elevated hearing thresholds (e.g., older populations) may have even greater difficulty processing complex auditory information, particularly in dual-task situations. Hearing difficulties may become particularly evident in dual-task situations and may exacerbate or be mistaken for cognitive impairments (Baldwin, 2002;Schneider & Pichora-Fuller, 2000). Despite convincing evidence that increasing stimulus intensity in dual-task situations facilitates performance (Baldwin, 2001;Baldwin & StruckmanJohnson, 2002), the mechanism behind this performance enhancement is less clear.…”

Seventeen participants performed a tone-pattern-matching task at different presentation levels while concurrently engaged in a simulated-driving task. Presentation levels of 60, 65, and 70 dBC (SPL) were combined factorially with tone-matching delays of 2, 3, and 4 sec. Intensity had no effect on performance in single-task conditions and short-delay conditions. However, when the participants were engaged concurrently in the driving task, a significant interaction between presentation level and delay was observed. In the longest delay condition, the participants performed the tone-pattern-matching task more efficiently (more quickly and without additional errors) as presentation intensity increased. These findings demonstrate the interaction between sensory and cognitive processes and point to a direct-intensity relationship where intensity affects the persistence of echoic memory. Implications for facilitating auditory processing and improving auditory interfaces in complex systems (i.e., transportation environments), particularly for older and hearing-impaired listeners, are discussed.

“…The authors recommend that such systems should be designed with older people's abilities in mind and that ergonomics and human factors knowledge should be applied to the design and development process. Aspects of a sensory-cognitive interaction theory of ageing might also be useful to consider when designing in-vehicle technologies (Baldwin, 2002). Sanders and McCormick (1993: 77) have outlined a short set of guidelines that are relevant for computer interfaces to be used by older users and others with reduced sensory or information processing capacities.…”

“…To avoid this problem, we exploit the fact that the driving task itself may involve different types of load due to various driving challenges: visibility challenges, traffic density challenges, wayfinding challenges. Furthermore, by manipulating these three types of driving challenge, it becomes possible to test Baldwin's (2002) sensory-cognitive interaction theory, which suggests that the deficits in sensory processing serve to accentuate the effects of cognitive demands in older adults. An implication of this theory is that the various types of challenge should produce interactive effects, and these interactions should be especially notable among older drivers.…”

Summary: A driving simulator was used to assess performance in younger and older drivers (M ages 18 and 71 years). The impacts of three challenges were assessed: visibility (clear day, fog), traffic density (low, high) and wayfinding (no challenge, drivers challenged to use signs and landmarks to find their destination). Performance was measured in terms of hazard RT, collisions, wayfinding errors (missed or extra turns), and driving speed. The challenge manipulations produced interactive effects and age was a factor in some of these interactions. Older drivers missed more turns in wayfinding but overall they performed as well or better than younger drivers and reduced their speed more to driving challenges.
