Acoustic interference in paired-associate learning as a function of hearing abilityl hearing performance on either list would be poorer than hearing·impaired performance. thus, an interaction between hearing ability and pairings of words was predicted.
The occurrence of failed tympanometric screenings in 253 middle-class preschool children, ages 30-48 months, was examined. Black children showed a significantly (p less than .05) lower incidence of failure (23% compared to 38% for White children); this pattern was attributable primarily to differential rates of failure for older children (greater than or equal to 36 months). Explanations for this difference are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
