Unit 4: Assessment of central auditory processing

• Definition, different behavioral processes
• Behavioral and clinical indicators of central auditory processing disorders
• Bottle neck and subtlety principles and their implications in
• Tests to detect central auditory processing disorders
• Monaural low redundancy tests – filtered speech tests, time compressed speech test, Speech-in-noise test, SSI with ICM, other monaural low redundancy tests.
• Dichotic speech tests – Dichotic digit test, Staggered spondaic word test, Dichotic CV test, SSI with CCM, Competing sentence test, other dichotic speech tests.
• Binaural interaction tests – RASP, BFT, MLD, other binaural interaction tests
• Tests of Temporal processing – pitch pattern test, duration pattern tests, other temporal ordering tests, gap detection test, TMTF
• Variables influencing the assessment of central auditory processing: Procedural and subject variables
• Test findings of important tests in subjects with central auditory disorders: brainstem lesion, cortical, CAPD in children.
