| Sumario: | Introduction: The aim of our study was to analyse the role of auditory perception in children suffering from developmental dysphasia (DD) using central dichotic tests. The dichotic listening task consists of a series of paired stimuli presented simultaneously, one to each ear. APD (auditory processing disorder) may occur in children with specific language impairment, with learning disabilities and with attention deficit. Material and methods: We have focused on results of dichotic listening in preschool children (208) with DD and in older DD children with learning disabilities (113). We compared these findings with results of normal developed children. Several types dichotic tests were used (two-syllable words or short sentences). Results of dichotic listening evaluate the percentage rate of success of the words recognized. Results: Average rate of succes (in dichotic word listening) of DD children in the age of 6--7 y. was: 53.3% in test 1; 59.8% in test 2 and 58.2% in test 3. Rate of success of the control group was: 90.8%, 92.9% and 91.6%. Results of the dichotic sentence tests in older DD children with learning disabilities were: 52.5% and 57.3%. Rate of success of the control group was 92.1% and 87.5%. Conclusions: The findings of preschool aged DD children confirmed disability to synthesize 2 two-syllabic words during dichotic listening. Results of the dichotic tests in children confirmed integration problems in the central perception area and the short-term memory disorder. Our findings confirm difficulties of children with developmetal dysphasia with auditory processing; as it relates to language function. The children exhibit a bilateral processing deficiency that results in their language and learning disabilities (they have central integration problems and short-term memory disorder). |
