Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i2 Pooled associations ranged between .18 and .39 and were significant for all subdomains except crystallized intelligence. → Dryden Adam 2017
q3 i2 Processing speed showed the strongest pooled association with SiN perception (.39), significant across all five contributing studies. → Dryden Adam 2017
Evidence¶
Dryden Adam 2017¶
Dryden Adam, Allen Harriet A., Henshaw Helen, Heinrich Antje. (2017). The Association Between Cognitive Performance and Speech-in-Noise Perception for Adult Listeners: A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis. Trends in Hearing. https://doi.org/10.1177/2331216517744675
q3 · i2 · quant-synthesis · r?
Set of random-effects meta-analyses per cognitive subdomain with SiN collapsed (Table 4): inhibitory control r = .34, working memory r = .28, episodic memory r = .26, crystallized IQ r = .18 (Z = 1.00, p = .32), processing speed r = .39. The review reports associations "ranged between .18 and .39".
"Associations ranged between .18 and .39 and were significant for all subdomains, except crystallized intelligence."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Working-memory associations with SiN perception appear strongest under informational masking and sentence targets (r up to .43)
- Cognitive performance shows a pooled association of r = .31 with speech-in-noise perception across adult unaided listeners — related
- Degree of unaided hearing loss (normal-to-mild vs normal-to-moderate) does not moderate the cognition–SiN association — related
- The effects of physical activity on cognition and academic outcomes depend on the subdomain examined — related
- Males show a small but significant advantage on WISC crystallized intelligence (gC, d = 0.14), driven mainly by the Information subtest — related
