Habilidade de ordenação temporal e nível de especificidade nos diferentes testes tonais

Abstract

Purpose: Evaluate temporal ordering ability with different tests, verify the specificity of these tests and compare the result with the level of easiness/difficulty reported by the subjects. Methods: The subjects carried out basic audiological evaluation and Dichotic Digit Test, for auditory processing screening, and they also underwent Frequency Pattern Test (FPT) and Duration Pattern Test (TPD), in the versions of Taborga-Lizarro, Musiek and Auditec®, in order to evaluate the temporal ordering ability. Afterwards, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was presented, so that the subjects could identify the difficulty of each test. Results: A total of 33 subjects were evaluated, being 29 women and four men, aged from 17 to 27 years. There were a higher number of individuals who have reached normal levels in Auditec® test and in Taborga-Lizarro test, for FPT and TPD. In the Musiek test, there were some subjects with normal results very close to the ones observed on subjects with processing disorders. In the distribution of the most difficult test, there was a statistical significance for the Musiek test. In terms of the specificity of the test, Auditec® proved to be better. However, the analysis was performed only on TPD. Conclusion: Although the subjects did not present change and auditory processing complaints, we found difference in the results of temporal ordering tests. In relation to the reported difficulty for Musiek test, we verified that there was influence of this factor on the test results.In the analysis for specificity tests, better results for the Auditec® test could be observed.

Teste de fala comprimida: adaptação e validação

“…As observed in Table 1, the mean age of the study sample was 21 years, which is similar to other recent studies 10,11 which used young adults in their samples to evaluate AP. One of the criteria for the choice of subjects in this study was the age that could range from 16 to 30 years.…”

“…Finally, the dichotic digit test was applied, which is part of the CAP evaluation battery required to perform CAP screening (14,15,16) . Individuals who obtained less than 95% correct answers in both ears were excluded (16) .…”

Precisión diagnóstica de una versión abreviada de las pruebas de patrones de frecuencia y patrones de duración para la evaluación del ordenamiento auditivo temporal

“…En segundo lugar, las diferencias estructurales de la prueba no permiten realizar comparaciones directas con las pruebas gold standard de evaluación del ordenamiento temporal. De hecho, se ha evidenciado que los resultados de esta versión no son homologables con las pruebas de Auditec 23 .…”
