Q

according to wilson et al, what was the relationship that was found between the screeners and behavioral tests

A

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

monotic : both signal and noise on one side, hard condition
dichotic : masker on one side and signal on the other side, easy to detect the signal
diotic : masker on both sides with signal on both sides, signal is easily masked
dichotic (M0Sπ) : masker on both sides with signal on both sides however the signal is out of phase so the signal pops out of the masker
