1.  (C)APD is observed in the following populations:
  1. children
  2. adults
  3. Both A & B
  4. None of the above
2.  A test battery of central auditory function should:
  1. be the same for all patients
  2. examine a variety of processes appropriate to the reported areas of difficulty
  3. examine one primary auditory process
  4. none of the above
3.  Individuals with the following condition may demonstrate a reduced central auditory function:
  1. head trauma
  2. neurological involvement involving the auditory system
  3. aging auditory system
  4. all of the above
4.  Individuals undergoing evaluation for (C)APD should be at least ____ years of age.
  1. 3
  2. 5
  3. 7
  4. 9
5.  Mental age and cognitive function:
  1. Does not affect test (C)APD test results
  2. Should only be considered in the pediatric population
  3. Should only be considered in the adult population
  4. May potentially affect test results and should be considered in all populations
6.  Studies have shown that patients with peripheral hearing loss:
  1. do better on (C)APD testing than patients without hearing loss
  2. have poor performance on (C)APD test batteries
  3. cannot complete (C)APD testing
  4. None of the above
7.  Regarding interpreting results of (C)APD testing, Musiek & Chermak recommend:
  1. Using norm based interpretation and a two standard deviation cut off value
  2. Using norm based interpretation and a three standard deviation cut off value
  3. Using criterion referenced interpretation and a one standard deviation cut off value
  4. None of the above
8.  One test of central auditory function which may be beneficial in evaluating the appropriateness of a binaural amplification is the ________ Test:
  1. Dichotic Digits
  2. Low-Pass Filtered Speech
  3. Gaps-In-Noise
  4. Compressed Speech
9.  Changes in (C)APD can be monitored and evaluated by:

  2. Observations in Functional Improvement
  3. Electrophysiological Monitoring
  4. All of the Above
10.  The most appropriate techniques for (re)habilitation of (C)APD are:
