PROJECT SUMMARY The overall objective of the proposed work is to test the benefits of a music-based intervention on speech-in- competition abilities in an older adult population that includes individuals that may be at risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Age-related hearing difficulties are prevalent, with speech-in- competition difficulties being a common challenge amongst older adults. Critically, these difficulties and frustrations often lead to social isolation and decreased cognitive engagement, and they are associated with an increased risk of developing ADRD. There is evidence suggesting that musical training is associated with cognitive advantages in older adults, including preserved ability for speech-in-competition. However, to date, there is extremely limited knowledge and lack of experimental evidence explaining how music might benefit speech-in-competition abilities, along with more basic auditory processes and/or cognitive functions. We aim to contribute to uncovering the underlying mechanisms driving the potential effects of music and attention through an innovative, attention-based music listening intervention that cultivates auditory and attentional skills akin to those developed during formal instrumental training. To disentangle potential effects of music and attention and to get at the underlying mechanisms of music effects, we will compare outcomes of this attention-based music intervention with those of two active control interventions that consist of either passive music listening or active listening to non-music sounds. Specific aims are to develop and test the feasibility of music and control interventions and assessments targeting auditory processing and cognition (R61; Aim 1); test for intervention- specific improvements in speech-in-competition using a randomized-controlled trial (R33; Aim 2); and determine whether experimental and control interventions differentially impact measures of auditory processing, memory, and attention, and test how these may mediate performance on measures of speech-in-competition (R33; Aim 3). Long-term objectives are to understand the key mechanisms underlying the benefits of music with the overall goal to inform interventions aimed at mitigating the effects of ADRD. This proposal is transformative in that it utilizes an innovative approach to uncover potential benefits and underlying mechanisms of music by testing the added benefits of interventions and testing their benefits against a broad set of outcomes measures that can be used to further understand the malleability of auditory processes and cognition in aging. In addition, the intervention is cost-effective, easily administrable, and accessible to individuals who may not possess the physical capabilities or resources that formal instrumental practice demands. In addition, music has been shown to provide other benefits including mood regulation and psychological well-being, and as such, the intervention may have benefits that go beyond the auditory or cognitive domain. Overall, the proposed work aims to contribute to the amelioration and/or prevention of cognitive decline in individuals that may be at risk for developing ADRD.

项目概要 拟议工作的总体目标是测试基于音乐的干预对言语的好处 老年人群（包括可能有阿尔茨海默氏症风险的个体）的竞争能力 疾病及相关痴呆症（ADRD）。与年龄相关的听力困难很普遍， 竞争困难是老年人面临的共同挑战。关键的是，这些困难和 挫折常常导致社会孤立和认知参与度下降，并且与 患 ADRD 的风险增加。有证据表明音乐训练与 老年人的认知优势，包括保留竞争中演讲的能力。然而，迄今为止， 目前知识极其有限，也缺乏实验证据来解释音乐如何受益 比赛中的演讲能力，以及更基本的听觉过程和/或认知功能。我们的目标是 有助于揭示驱动音乐和注意力潜在影响的潜在机制 一种创新的、基于注意力的音乐聆听干预措施，可培养听觉和注意力技能，类似于 那些在正式乐器训练期间发展起来的。理清音乐和注意力的潜在影响 为了了解音乐效果的根本机制，我们将比较这种基于注意力的音乐的结果 干预措施包括两种主动控制干预措施，包括被动听音乐或主动 听非音乐的声音。具体目标是开发和测试音乐和控制的可行性 针对听觉处理和认知的干预和评估（R61；目标 1）；干预测试- 使用随机对照试验对比赛中演讲进行具体改进（R33；目标 2）；并确定 实验和对照干预措施是否对听觉处理、记忆、 和注意力，并测试这些如何调节竞争中演讲测量的表现（R33；目标 3）。长期目标是了解音乐益处背后的关键机制 目标是为旨在减轻 ADRD 影响的干预措施提供信息。该提案具有变革性，因为它 利用创新方法通过测试来发现音乐的潜在好处和潜在机制 干预措施的额外好处，并根据一系列广泛的结果措施测试其好处，这些措施可以 用于进一步了解衰老过程中听觉过程和认知的可塑性。此外， 干预措施具有成本效益，易于管理，并且对于那些可能不具备干预措施的个人来说也可以使用 正式乐器练习所需的身体能力或资源。此外，还展示了音乐 提供其他好处，包括情绪调节和心理健康，因此，干预 可能具有超出听觉或认知领域的好处。总体而言，拟议的工作旨在做出贡献 改善和/或预防可能有 ADRD 风险的个体的认知能力下降。
