20Q: Using Auditory Event-Related Potentials for a Better Understanding of Word Recognition

---

1.  An AERP waveform consists of what three components? Wave I, Wave III and Wave V N1, N2, N3 N1, P2, PN P1, P2, P4

2.  Which of the following is an AERP? ASSR P300 responses 40 Hz potentials all of the above

3.  The portion of the AERP that shows a slow positive deflection from baseline peaking in the 600-900 ms range, and returning to baseline is called: late positive component (LPC) home base processing negativity (PN) cochlear microphonic

4.  An AERP is evoked by a: click toneburst tone pip listening task requiring a decision about the events in contrast to other events

5.  Which cognitive process(es) contributes to the PN component of the AERP? attention working memory semantic processing and phonological processing all of the above

6.  The PN and LPC components of the AERP reflect: listening effort IQ audiological threshold auditory acuity

7.  Attention may play a role in: auditory processing disorder auditory neuropathy acoustic neuroma all of the above

8.  Equipment to measure AERP: is the same as most OAE equipment is commercially available is not commercially available but it is simple to adapt most ABR equipment is not needed if you have a smart phone - simply download the AERP app in the iTunes store

9.  Dr. Jerger sees which of the following as a threat to the future of audiology: too few audiologists entering the profession audiologists retiring too young audiologists focusing exclusively on selling/fitting hearing aids PSAPs

10.  According to Dr. Jerger, we can help ensure a healthy future for the audiology profession by: limiting the number of AuD programs to a sustainable number yet maintain high academic standards strengthening the scientific base of the profession by placing a greater emphasis on research and research training Help university programs to create a stronger collaboration and closer relationships between clinicians and researchers all of the above
