“…The RGDT has been used to evaluate temporal resolution in children with conductive hearing loss, auditory processing disorder, and auditory neuropathy. Children aged 7-10 years with conductive hearing loss and children with the diagnosis of a central auditory processing disorder showed RGDT thresholds significantly higher than normal children (Balen et al, 2009). Yalçınkaya et al (2009) investigated the performance of five children aged 7-13 years with auditory neuropathy and 10 normal hearing children aged 7-16 years who had not had an auditory processing problem as the control group.…”

Temporal acoustic cues are particularly important for speech understanding, and past research has inferred a relationship between temporal resolution and speech recognition in noise ability. A temporal resolution disorder is thought to affect speech understanding abilities because persons would not be able to accurately encode these frequency transitions, creating speech discrimination errors even in the presence of normal pure-tone hearing.The primary purpose was to investigate the relationship between temporal resolution as measured by the Random Gap Detection Test (RGDT) and speech recognition in noise performance as measured by the Hearing in Noise Test (HINT) in adults with normal audiometric thresholds. The second purpose was to examine the relationship between temporal resolution and spatial release from masking.The HINT and RGDT protocols were administered under headphones according to the guidelines specified by the developers. The HINT uses an adaptive protocol to determine the signal-to-noise ratio where the participant recognizes 50% of the sentences. For HINT conditions, the target sentences were presented at 0° and the steady-state speech-shaped noise and a four-talker babble (4TB) was presented at 0°, +90°, or −90° for noise front, noise right, and noise left conditions, respectively. The RGDT is used to evaluate temporal resolution by determining the smallest time interval between two matching stimuli that can be detected by the participant. The RGDT threshold is the shortest time interval where the participant detects a gap. Tonal (0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz) and click stimuli random gap subtests were presented at 60 dB HL. Tonal subtests were presented in a random order to minimize presentation order effects.Twenty-one young, native English-speaking participants with normal pure-tone thresholds (≤25 dB HL for 500–4000 Hz) participated in this study. The average age of the participants was 20.2 years (SD = 0.66).Spearman rho correlation coefficients were conducted using SPSS 22 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY) to determine the relationships between HINT and RGDT thresholds and derived measures (spatial advantage and composite scores). Nonparametric testing was used because of the ordinal nature of RGDT data.Moderate negative correlations (p < 0.05) were found between eight RGDT and HINT threshold measures and a moderate positive correlation (p < 0.05) was found between RGDT click thresholds and HINT 4TB spatial advantage. This suggests that as temporal resolution abilities worsened, speech recognition in noise performance improved. These correlations were not statistically significant after the p value reflected the Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons.The results of the present study imply that the RGDT and HINT use different temporal processes. Performance on the RGDT cannot be predicted from HINT thresholds or vice versa.

“…A habilidade de ordenação temporal de frequência e de duração é utilizada principalmente para análise dos aspectos de prosódias da fala como ritmo, acentuação e entoação 22 . Uma vez que os indivíduos que apresentam processamento auditivo alterado não possuem uma discriminação de frequência, intensidade e duração sonora adequadas, a prosódia e a entonação do que é falado provavelmente não são apreciadas por completo 23 .…”

RESUMOObjetivo: caracterizar e comparar o desempenho das crianças com diagnóstico de gagueira nos testes de padrão temporal, com crianças sem queixas e/ou sinais de transtornos psiquiátricos ou neurológicos, dificuldades de fala, audição, linguagem e/ou aprendizagem. Método: participaram 30 crianças entre 9 e 12 anos de idade, de ambos os gêneros, divididas em dois grupos: GI -15 crianças com gagueira desenvolvimental persistente; GII -15 crianças sem queixas e/ou sinais de transtornos psiquiátricos ou neurológicos, dificuldades de fala, audição, linguagem e/ou aprendizagem. Para avaliação do processamento auditivo temporal, foi aplicado os Testes Tonais Conflito de interesses: inexistente repetição de sons, de sílabas e palavras monossilá-bicas, prolongamentos e bloqueios, geralmente em mais de 3% da fala 5,6 . Embora a etiologia da gagueira ainda não tenha sido precisamente identificada, as pesquisas atuais têm mostrado que fatores genéticos estão envolvidos na sua transmissão 7 . Acredita-se que os fatores genéticos podem afetar pequenas e sutis mudanças na estrutura e função do cérebro. Gagueira é multidimensional 6 , na qual inúmeros fatores, como biológicos, psicológicos e sociais interagem de forma complexa, influenciando o desenvolvimento pessoal e as interações sociais do indivíduo que gagueja. Dentre os fatores bioló-gicos, destacam-se as habilidades auditivas como um fator que influencia na fluência da fala, pois estudos mostraram a associação entre gagueira e processamento auditivo [8][9][10] e o uso da retroalimentação auditiva atrasada (RAA) no tratamento da gagueira 11 . INTRODUÇÃOGagueira desenvolvimental persistente (GDP) é um transtorno da fluência que se manifesta por rupturas involuntárias no fluxo da fala, que se inicia na infância e que pode persistir na fase adulta [1][2][3][4] . Este distúrbio é caracterizado por excessiva
