Abstract

En 中文

There is no standardized material to assess auditory processing (AP) in Spanish-speaking adults. The purpose of this research was to develop and obtain initial normative data for AP tests for Spanish-speaking adults. The AP tests comprised the Hong Kong CAPA (Hong Kong central auditory processing assessment) including speech-in-noise, binaural fusion, filtered speech, and dichotic digit tests. In addition five tests already developed by other authors, but with no normative data reported for the target population, were included in the study. These tests were staggered spondaic words, random gap detection, pitch pattern sequence, duration pattern sequence, and masking level difference. Forty normal hearing Chilean adults were assessed to obtain the initial normative data. Several correlations were found between tests and between subtests within the same test category. 90(th) percentiles are suggested as initial normative data.
