Honors Theses
The goal of this study is to identify how auditory duration discrimination ability varies across age groups by using an unbiased stimulus such as a music tone. This will be accomplished by conducting a quantitative study testing duration discrimination skills in young and elderly adults.

The null hypothesis is that there is no difference in duration discrimination between elderly and young adults.
