midterm Flashcards
(95 cards)
test battery considerations for (C)APD
sensitivity and specificity, test reliability, ease of administration, population characteristics, symptom specific considerations and patient specific considerations
what does it mean by symptoms specific considerations
test battery should be motivated by the referring complain and the relevant information available to the audiologist
-working with the symptoms
what does it mean by patient specific considerations
does the patient have the abilities to do the test
-do they have the developmental maturity
-looking into cognitive issues, memory issues, any history of TBIs, trauma and concussions
for a (C)APD test battery, what central processes should be assessed
dichotic processes, temporal processes, binaural interaction and monaural low redundancy speech/auditory closure processes
dichotic processes test assess…
binaural integration or binaural separation
-sensitive to lesions of the corpus callosum and cerebral cortex
temporal processes and pattern tests assess …
pattern perception and temporal functioning abilities
-sensitive to a compromised right hemisphere however if the test requires a verbal response it is sensitive to left hemisphere lesions
binaural interaction/fusion assess …
interaction between two ears
monaural low redundancy speech/auditory closure processes assess …
involving modification of the signal in order to assess auditory closure
-sensitive to auditory closure abilities
-not sensitive to brainstem lesions
recommendations for a (C)APD evaluation
case history, pre-test standardization questionnaires, behavioral measures, electrophysiologic measures, psychoeducational measures, speech and language evaluation
(C)APD screening questionnaires
CHAPS, SIFTER and fishers auditory problem checklist
children’s auditory performance scale (CHAPS)
evaluates listening behaviors within diverse listening situations
-assess the child’s ability in comparison to child’s peers
-created by smoski, brint and tanhill
ages for the CHAPS
7 years and older
screening instrument for targeting educational risk (SIFTER)
compares the child’s functional abilities to the peers within academics, attention, communication, class participation and social behavior
-created by anderson
ages for the SIFTER
first through fifth grade
fishers auditory problem checklist
itemizes behaviors of a child within the classroom including failure to attend instructions, need for repeated instructions, how easily they are distracted, degrading processing in a competing acoustic environment and addresses attention and memory issues
-created by fisher
ages for fishers auditory problem checklist
according to wilson et al, what was the relationship that was found between the screeners and behavioral tests
poor ability was found of the screeners to predict the individual diagnostic test results or their overall risk for (C)APD
-they concluded that screeners should be used to highlight concerns about a child but not to determine whether a diagnostic (C)APD assessment is warranted
-deficits were found in short term/working memory that could impact performance on (C)APD tests
(C)APD behavioral tests
PSI, ACPT and the SCAN-3C
pediatric speech intelligibility test (PSI)
a low redundancy speech test that has the child point to the image corresponding to the sentence that is heard in competing noises
-created by jerger and jerger
ages for the PSI
3 to 6
what does the PSI assess
auditory figure ground and auditory closure
-sensitive to lower brainstem deficits
auditory continuous performance test (ACPT)
a attention test that requires the patient to press the button when they hear the word dog, is it presented 96 times for 6 trials
-created by keith
ages for the ACPT
6 to 11 years
what does the ACPT assess
selective attention and sustained attention
