The impact of dichotic auditory training in children
(2010)
Abstract
The primary purpose of this investigation was to determine if Dichotic Auditory Training (DAT) can significantly improve post-test scores on an investigator developed screening tool (Pre/Post-DAT), the Staggered Spondaic Word test, and the SCAN-C: Test for Auditory Processing Disorders in Children/SCAN-A: Tests for Auditory Processing Disorders in Adolescents and Adults (SCAN-C/A). Three groups of children were included in this study: Experimental (n = 16), Control Group A (Tx) (n = 10), and Control Group B (a) (n = 10). Control Group B (a) received only pre- and post-testing. Both the Experimental Group and Control Group A (Tx) received training sessions consisting of the systematic presentation of a series of dichotic monosyllabic words to children over a 1-month period. The DAT training sessions increased in difficulty from 300 ms lead time to 0 ms lead time. Both groups of children receiving the experimental training showed significant improvement in dichotic auditory processing skills on post-testing measures
