Question 12

Which tests assess monaural low redundancy/auditory closure processing

Answer 12

NU-6 filtered words
time compressed sentences
SSI ICM
speech in noise

Question 13

Sound localization

Answer 13

ability to identify where a sound is coming from in space
deficit impact: difficulty in spatial awareness, following multi-speaker conversations and maintaining attention in a classroom

Question 14

temporal processing

Answer 14

ability to detect brief changes in stimuli over time
deficit impact: challenges in auditory discrimination and resolution
affecting reading, spelling, and writing due to difficulty distinguishing phonemes or following rapid speech
ex: distinguishing /pa/ from /ba/

Question 15

auditory figure ground

Answer 15

ability to attend to a signal of interest in the presence of background noise
deficit impact: difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments
leading to challenges in classroom discussions or group learning

Question 16

auditory closure

Answer 16

ability to fill in the missing pieces of auditory information
fill in the blanks
deficit impact: difficulty understanding speech in noisy or degraded auditory conditions
affects language learning and comprehension
issues with language acquisition and vocabulary development
phonemic decoding may be affected

Question 17

adults and children with deficits in this area will perform poorly on tests that assess auditory closure which are

Answer 17

low pass filtered speech tests
speech in nois tests
time compressed speech tests
reduce redundancy by messing up
timing/phase
intensity
frequency

Question 18

auditory analysis

Answer 18

ability to break down auditory information into its components (e.g., syllables or phonemes)
deficit impact: challenges with decoding
crucial for reading and spelling
reading difficulties
this is important for distinguishing verb tenses and other morphological markers that may be acoustically distorted or masked by background noise

Question 19

auditory memory

Answer 19

ability to remember auditory information for short or long periods of time
deficit impact: poor ability to follow multi-step verbal instructions or remember sequences
impacts classroom performance

Question 20

auditory sequential memory

Answer 20

recall the order of a series of acoustic stimuli
phone numbers, ID numbers, etc.

Question 21

auditory short term memory

Answer 21

retain and recall auditory information as it is immediately presented

Question 22

frequency resolution

Answer 22

ability of the auditory system to distinguish different frequencies in a sound signal even those that are close together
tested using PPST
deficit impact: phonemic processing and suprasegmental cues (intonation, stress, rhythm etc.)
crucial for language comprehension and expression

Question 23

what test assesses frequency resolution

Answer 23

PPST

Question 24

auditory binaural integration

Answer 24

ability to combine auditory information received by both ears into a unified perception
deficit impact: issues understanding speech in complex auditory environments (noise), poor localization, reduced ability to focus on target speaker in group settings
leads to challenges working in groups or listening in noisy classes, increased listening fatigue, inability to follow multi-speaker discussions

Question 25

dichotic processing

Answer 25

ability to process different auditory stimuli presented simultaneously to each ear.
deficit impact: Difficulty distinguishing or remembering competing auditory inputs.
Left or right ear suppression during dichotic listening tasks, often reflecting hemispheric dominance or interhemispheric transfer issues
leads to Trouble processing simultaneous auditory information (e.g., teacher talking while classmates converse).
Struggles with tasks requiring split attention or multitasking
