Reading-Span may be the wrong cognitive measure for predicting speech-in-noise skill

Evidence

Second, different cognitive measures, probing the hypothesized sub-processes of WM (e.g. inhibition, shifting, updating) or other domain-general cognitive primitives (e.g. processing speed) might prove to be better predictors of SiN processing abilities than the Reading-Span test. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 1123

Categorization

• QUESTION: Which WM sub-process — inhibition, updating, shifting — actually predicts unambiguous young-adult SiN? Unanswered in the literature.
• SEED: Angle: whether the null result is a true cognitive effect or an artifact of the specific WM measure chosen.
