| description | Background: Development of auditory differentiation skill plays an imperative
role in the development of speech and language skills of children as well as central
auditory processing. One of the instruments employed in the investigation of
this skill is auditory differentiation test. The present study was conducted with
the aim of investigating the auditory differentiation skill in normal 7-8 year old
children.
Methods: The present cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on 200
normal girls and boys within the age bracket of 7-8 years with equal numbers of
genders (100 girls and 100 boys). In order to examine the auditory differentiation
skill, the Persian version of Wepman auditory differentiation test was employed.
The significance level in this research was considered as P=0.05.
Results: The auditory differentiation score according to percentiles of 5 and 95
was 38 and 40 among the seven year old group, respectively, while it was 38.05
and 40 in the eight year old group, respectively. The mean auditory differentiation
score of the seven year old children was significantly lower than that of the eight
year old children (P=0.04). No significant difference was observed between the
two genders (P=0.19).
Conclusion: According to the results obtained in this research, the auditory
differentiation score was significantly different between the seven and eight year
old groups, but no significant difference was observed between boys and girls. |
