Children's item and other errors on time-compressed, sequenced rhyming words.

This investigation provided normative data for the performance of 36 M and 36 F children in 3 groups averaging 8, 10, and 12 yrs old, presented time-compressed (TC) rhyme sequences under multitalker masking and no masking conditions. Analysis of both item and order errors yielded significant effects for TC and masking conditions. These effects were consistent with findings for stimuli previously found useful in assessing auditory perceptual problems, thereby supporting the diagnostic potential of these stimuli. Analysis of the order errors also yielded several higher-order interactions which appeared to be clinically negligible but supportive of the suggestion that order errors may be especially sensitive to subtle pathological problems.

Adults' item and order errors on sequences of time-compressed rhyming words.

This investigation provided normative data for the intelligibility of time-compressed (TC) phonemes in 40 normal-hearing adults aged 18-26 yrs. Individual Ss were presented with 5-word rhyming sequences from the Fairbanks Rhyme Test (e.g., cat-bat-hat-mat-rat) sent to a monaural earphone at 40 db re SRT, and required to write the initial phonemes in the order as heard. Sequences were either at normal speed or at 60% TC, either unmasked or under contralateral multitalker masking at 65 db re SRT, counterbalanced for ear (R,L) and presentation order (R-L, L-R). Significant effects for both TC and masking were obtained with separate analyses of item and order errors. The findings support the diagnostic potential of these stimuli in detecting and documenting subtle auditory perceptual problems in adults, since they were consistent with findings for other stimuli known to be diagnostically effective and have the further property of tapping memory and sequencing abilities. Significant interactions with the factor of ear (R vs L) suggest that the stimuli may be especially sensitive to ear differences. Similar studies with groups such as those with high-level aphasia, sickle cell anemia, repeated strokes, etc., should be forthcoming to determine the clinical utility of these materials and procedures.

The auditory-visual integration test: intersensory or temporal-spatial?

Forty-two children, twenty-one boys and twenty-one girls, were tested at the beginning and end of grade one using Birch's auditory-visual integration test (AVIT) and a parallel visual-visual integration test (VVIT). Reading tests were administered at the end of grade one. No significant differences between the means of the two integration tests were observed at the beginning of the year. A differential development of the AVIT and the VVIT resulted in a significant difference between the means at the end of the year when a common variance of 58% was observed between the two tests. At the conclusion of the school year each function correlated significantly with reading (decoding), with the correlation between AVIT and reading being significantly larger than the correlation between VVIT and reading. Implications for the optometric treatment of children with learning disabilities are discussed.

Effects of recurrent middle ear effusion in preschool years on language and learning.

Eighteen healthy 8- to 11-year-old children with normal hearing and histories of recurrent middle ear effusion (MEE) before the age of 5 years were evaluated by a battery of audiologic, psychologic, language, and achievement tests. Each of these children was compared to a non-MEE sibling who was tested at the same age. None of the children had been diagnosed as learning disabled. Both groups tested in the bright normal range of verbal ability on the WISC-R. Paired comparison of sibling data revealed that the MEE subjects had deficits in verbal ability, auditory decoding, and spelling skills compared with control siblings. Significant strength in visual sequential memory in the MEE subjects suggests that the availability of compensatory strategies for auditory deficits in these subjects. Sex and/or birth order differences did not explain the differences observed between siblings.

Patterns of perceptual and academic deficits related to early chronic otitis media.

The effects of chronic otitis media during the first three years of life on developing auditory processing skills were examined. Two groups of children with auditory processing deficits were compared in areas of language development, intellectual factors, auditory processing skills, and academic capabilities. One group of children with auditory processing deficits had a history of severe chronic otitis media during the first three years of life, whereas a second group had auditory processing deficits but no history of early middle ear infections. The results indicate that subjects who had a history of chronic otitis media were slower in developing word combinations, had depressed verbal intelligence scores, manifested pervasive auditory processing deficits, and were significantly poorer in reading. A profile has been constructed that permits early detection of the child at risk.

[Symptomatic acoustic hallucinations after traumatic brain damage. Review of the literature and case report].

Symptomatic hallucinosis can be observed after subcortical lesions of different localisation with a predominance of complex-visual perceptive disturbances. Only single cases with complex acoustic hallucinosis have been reported in the literature. A 30-year-old patient is presented who suffered from a midbrain syndrome after severe traumatic brain injury and developed an acoustic hallucinosis in the chronic stage of rehabilitation. The functional relevance and therapeutic strategies are considered with regard to the relevant literature.
