3.  The Gap Detection Screening test is a measure of: Temporal processing Auditory discrimination Understanding speech in noise Binaural separation

4.  Dichotic word and competing sentences tests help determine: Auditory integration of information The dominant hemisphere for language Understanding speech in noise How well a child understands language

5.  Auditory processing disorders: do not co-occur with ADHD Often co-occur with language disorders are a subset of language disorders, related to impaired receptive vocabulary are diagnosed by speech language pathologists

6.  Good candidates for APD testing: cannot have significant conductive or sensorineural hearing loss are under 5 years old have an IQ of 70 or above may have highly unintelligible speech

9.  Which of the following is true about interpretation of ear advantage scores? Normal children will exhibit a right ear advantage in dichotic listening tests of speech Normal children will not show ear advantages for monaural tests of degraded speech Children with APD will show overall poor performance on dichotic listening tests All of the above

10.  Management of APD: Should only be done in the therapy environment and not at home Is best determined based on individual needs should always be accomplished through computer assisted remediation Is always best conducted through group therapy
