New paper in PlosOne! Led by Katherine Bak, with @jennycampos.bsky.social, @thinkauditory.bsky.social, Lena Darakjian, Kristen Arnold, & Kathy Pichora-Fuller, this @kiteuhn.bsky.social study finds older adults struggle more with speech while driving—especially in noise. Quieter cars may help!

With age, multitasking while driving becomes increasingly challenging.

New @kiteuhn.bsky.social research shows how older adults have more difficulty driving while listening to speech—highlighting the need for better strategies to support driving safety.
