Tiivistelmä
The right-ear advantage (REA) in Dichotic listening (DL) reflects stimulus-driven bottom-up asymmetry in speech processing. The REA can be modified by top-down attentional control. We investigated attentional control in DL task as a function of age. A total of 186 participants between the ages of 5 and 79 years were tested. The youngest children demonstrated a REA that was not modified by attention, suggesting that bottom-up functional asymmetry was present. The 10-11-year-olds began to show ability to voluntarily modify DL, but only young adults were fully capable of doing so. In 59-79-year-olds, this top-down attentional control was lost again.
