Avaliação do processamento auditivo e da discriminação fonêmica em crianças com desenvolvimento fonológico normal e desviante

Abstract

Audi tory processing and phonemic discrimination are essential for communication. Type of study: Retrospective. Aim:To evaluate auditory processing and phonemic discrimination in children with normal and disordered phonological development. Material and Methods:An evaluation of 46 children was carried out: 22 had phonological disorders and 24 had normally developing speech. Diotic , monotic and dichotic tests were applied to assess auditory processing and a test to evaluate phonemic discrimination abilities.Design: Cross-sectional, contemporary. Results:The values of normally-developing children were within the normal range in all auditory processing tests; these children attained maximum phonemic discrimination test scores. Children with phonological disorders performed worse in the latter, and presented disordered auditory processing. Conclusion:Auditory processing and phonemic discrimination in children with phonological disorders are altered. Braz J Otorhinolaryngol. 2010;76(6):762-8. ORIGINAL ARTICLE BJORL

Fonologia, processamento auditivo e educação infantil: influências ambientais em crianças de 4 anos a 5 anos e 11 meses

“…But it was observed that a considerable amount of children with appropriate phonological development showed poor results in auditory processing. These findings do not corroborate national studies 5,[28][29][30] that show evidence of a relationship between auditory processing alteration and the presence of phonological alterations, whereby children with phonological alteration present poorer results in the evaluations of the auditory processing when compared to children with normal phonological development. The finding of the present study may be due to the heterogeneity of the sample and randomness in the selection of the participants.…”

“…Alterations in auditory processing can occur alone or be found in association with other learning disorder comorbidities as demonstrated in other studies 1,[8][9][10][11][12] . In this sense, early detection is essential to the minimization of the linguistic, cognitive and psychosocial impact of APD, as well as to organize appropriate speech rehabilitation.…”

“…Extensive research, using the SSW test for evaluating AP, has been carried out on clinical populations assessing: difficulties in learning to read and write 1,4,[8][9][10][11] , the relationship between phonological disorder and AP [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] ; the relationship between oral breathing and the central auditory system 19 ; dyslexia 20 ; comorbidity between attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) and dyslexia 21 ; the relationship between performance in cognitive tests and AP tasks 22 ; listening skills in students aged 7 to 10 years, from different socioeconomic and cultural levels 23 and effectiveness of an informal program of specific auditory training for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) in a group of 24 patients with this alteration.…”

“…This study aims to highlight the importance of SSW test in the diagnosis of human communication disorders and to identify children at risk for learning disorders and specific complications which can be overcome or minimized with concomitant auditory training and speech therapy 1,4,[8][9][10][11][12]18 .…”

Phonemic discrimination and the relationship with other linguistic levels in children with typical phonological development and phonological disorder

“…Therefore, it is the individual's ability to perceive minimum acoustic differences present in the discourse (2,3) , and it is considered as a key aspect for the correct production of speech sounds -the mental representation and storage of linguistic stimuli are established through reception, analysis, and organization of information by auditory processing (1)(2)(3)(4)(5) . Therefore, the ability to discriminate phonemes is critical to the beginning of this process and for phonological acquisition (3) . For the acquisition of speech sounds, it is essential that the ability to perceive minor differences between the distinctive features that occur by binary oppositions is established.…”
