Reason for Corrigendum:
There is an error in the reporting of the Text Recognition Threshold (TRT) data in the original
article. The TRT results were reported as “percent unmasked” in Tables 1 and 2, but the data are
actually percent masked values. Thus, higher scores mean better performance, and the older group
actually performed slightly worse than the younger group on the TRT task (not better, as indicated
in Table 2). The correlations with other measures, reported in Table 6, should be interpreted with
the percent-masked scoring in mind. Thus, the significant positive correlations between TRT and
the global measures of cognition and speech understanding reported in Table 6 indicate that better
performance on the TRT is associated with higher (better) scores on those global measures.
Conflict of Interest Statement: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or
financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.
