Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to correlate 6-7-year-old children’s results on each condition of the Listening in Spatialized Noise – Sentences test (LiSN-S) with the new language-independent version, the Listening in Spatialized Noise – Universal test (LiSN-U), to examine the strength of the relationship between them and with memory in a small sample of typically developing children.
Design: Correlational analysis.
Study Sample: Sixteen typically-developing 6-7-year-old children completed the LiSN-S and LiSN-U as well as the Test of Auditory Processing Skills – Third Edition (TAPS-3) number memory forward and reversed subtests which assess short term memory and working memory, respectively.
Results: Moderate positive correlations were found between LiSN-S and LiSN-U spatially-separated conditions (though this did not reach significance), and co-located conditions. Moderate positive correlations were found for both LiSN-S and LiSN-U same voice (SV) 90 and 0 degrees conditions with number memory reversed percentiles, but not for the spatial advantage difference scores.
Conclusions: This study shows promise for the LiSN-U being used as a tool to investigate spatial processing.
