background and aim: dichotic listening evaluation is one of the most common behavioral procedures for assessing the cerebral dominance of language and is considered as the main component of the auditory processing test battery in children and adults. the randomized dichotic digits test (rddt) has two lists of randomly distributed one-, two-, and three-digit items. this research was performed fo...

This study was designed to establish test-retest reliability of the consonant vowel and digit formats of the dichotic listening test with normal and learning-disabled children between the ages of 7 and 10 years. Between-group differences on ear advantage and total accuracy scores were also examined. The results indicated that both groups showed a right ear advantage and that there were no signi...

OBJECTIVE To investigate central auditory processing in children with unilateral stroke and to verify whether the hemisphere affected by the lesion influenced auditory competence. METHOD 23 children (13 male) between 7 and 16 years old were evaluated through speech-in-noise tests (auditory closure); dichotic digit test and staggered spondaic word test (selective attention); pitch pattern and ...

Normal and dyslexic right-handed children were assessed with three dichotic listening tests, the Dichotic Digits test, the Competing Words subtest of the SCAN, and the Dichotic Consonant-Vowel test. Performance was measured as both number and percentage of correct responses in the right and left ears. Laterality was defined as a simple difference in percentage between the two ears. Differences ...

Abstract There are discrepancies in the literature regarding course of central auditory processes (CAP) maturation typically developing children and adolescents. The purpose study was to provide an overview age – related improvement CAP Polish primary secondary school students aged 7–16 years. 180 children/adolescents, subdivided into 9 categories, 20 adults (aged 18–24 years) performed Dichoti...

A dichotic monitoring test for the lateralisation of speech dominance was compared with testing for dysphasia after unilateral electroconvulsive therapy to each side of the head in 31 patients, and the intracarotid amylobarbitone test in four epileptic patients. Twenty-eight patients shown to be left speech dominant also showed right ear advantages in the dichotic test. Four of the five right s...

Hearing impaired individuals often have difficulty hearing in noise because of reduced spectral resolution. Previous research suggests that dichotic processing, where information from neighboring frequency regions is sent to opposite ears, may benefit those individuals. However, dichotic processing can degrade binaural cues, reducing spatial release from masking and localization accuracy. In th...

PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the dichotic listening abilities in non-hearing-impaired adults monolingual speakers of the Brazilian Portuguese language (CG) and simultaneous Brazilian Portuguese-German (GG) bilingual speakers or successive Brazilian Portuguese-Italian bilingual speakers (IG). METHODS This is about an observational, descriptive, transverse and quantitative research. The samp...

background and aim: auditory processing disorder and dyslexia have been reported by many studies as having high comorbidity. the purpose of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of central auditory processing rehabilitation program on speech reception in noise and dichotic listening in dyslexic students. the research was quasi-experimental, including a pretest, posttest and a control g...
