Dynamic auditory localization by normal and learning disability children.
Twenty children from regular classrooms and 20 children from self-contained, learning disability classrooms tracked four different acoustic stimuli through three fixed paths in space. An apparatus specifically designed to provide objective data on accuracy of tracking was used. The results showed that learning disability children as a group were inferior in their abilities to follow a moving speech signal and a moving white noise. The position of the target with respect to the listeners' midlines affected accuracy of tracking, but this was not a function of the hand used to control the pointer.
