Abstract
Age-related differences are observed on many measures of both perceptual and cognitive processing. Indeed, strong correlations between basic measures of hearing and vision and age-related variations in intelligence have highlighted the powerful links between perception and cognition. In this paper, links between age-related differences in auditory temporal processing and slowing in cognitive processing are explored in an effort to illuminate how older adults listen to language spoken in challenging everyday conditions. Experiments in which the signal-to-noise condition is varied to equate listening difficulty for younger and older adults and experiments that simulate auditory aging in younger listeners provide evidence that at least some of the apparent age-related differences in cognitive performance during spoken language comprehension may be secondary to auditory temporal processing differences.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
