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

67
what is the norm for RGDT
20 ms -anything over 20 is an indication of a temporal processing disorder
68
binaural masking level difference (MLD or BMLD)
conducted under headphones as binaural hearing enhances our ability to detect, identify or discriminate signals in noisy environments -auditory segregation as seen within the cocktail party effect
69
when talking about MLD, what are the different presentations that occur
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

what does MLD assess
binaural interaction at the brainstem level
72
what are the norms for the MLD short test? MLD recorded test?
short : 10 dB or better recorded : 14 dB or better -anything at or over these indicate a release from masking, which is normal -if below these levels, that is abnormal

85
what occurs with dichotic process issues
speech in noise issues, difficulty following rapid speech or instructions
86
classroom concerns with dichotic process
miss what teachers say with background noise, miss what people say if they speak fast and need instructions repeated especially in group settings
87
when would dichotic process tests be indicated
reports of difficulty with binaural integration or separation, complains of unilateral or uneven hearing
88
what occurs with temporal processing issues
difficulty understanding fast speech, issues following rhythms or patterns, trouble processing rapidly changing sounds, difficulties hearing in noise, missing steps in instructions, asking for repetition
89
classroom concerns with temporal processing issues
miss steps if instructions are given, if they do not write instructions down they will miss parts and they cannot read out loud or they get stuck on similar sounds
90
when would temporal processing testing be indicated
difficulty perceiving gaps between sounds and challenges understanding pitch or timing dependent cues -not understanding sarcasm
91
what occurs with binaural interaction issues
issues localizing sounds, issues hearing in noise, issues with spatial awareness and imbalance between ears
92
when would binaural interaction testing be indicated
difficulty understanding in dichotic listening situations and struggles with auditory fusion or temporal disparity cues
93
what occurs with auditory monaural low redundancy speech/auditory closure process issues
issues with distorted or muffled speech, difficulties in hearing on the phone, issues in noise, issues with accents or rapid speech, issues with reverberant spaces, issues following lectures if they cannot see their face and they may miss instructions or not hear clear in group meetings
94
when would auditory monaural low redundancy speech/auditory closure process testing be indicated
difficulty with incomplete or low redundancy speech and struggles with auditory closure -if cannot guess what someone said or cannot fill in the blanks
95
low redundancy vs. high redundancy
with low redundancy, speech signals have been altered to create the low redundant speech
