Frequency Discrimination in Children with Auditory Processing Disorder or Specific Language Impairment

---

1.  In children, Δf threshold is in the order of ____ of the base frequency. 1% 10% 20% 50%

2.  Suprathreshold Δf detection is useful in: Everyday auditory perception Vowel discrimination Music listening All of the above

3.  Using a two-alternative forced-choice procedure to measure Δf thresholds involve asking the participants to: Adjust the frequency difference until it is barely detectable Determine if two sounds are the same or different in terms of frequency Asses the duration of the signals Determine if two sounds are the same or different in terms of intensity

4.  The method of choice in the non-behavioral measurement of Δf detection is the: Auditory Brainstem Response Middle Latency Response Mismatch Negativity P400

5.  Pediatric APD is mostly associated with worse than average detection of: Large Δf Medium Δf Small Δf None of the above

6.  In children with both APD and SLI, Δf detection is: Worse than in children with APD-only Worse than in children with SLI-only Worse than in children with typical development All of the above

7.  Suprathreshold detection of Δf is worse in children with: APD-only SLI-only Blindness Neurotypical development

8.  Behavioral assessment of Δf thresholds involves all except: Detection of a change in frequency Attention Localization Working memory

9.  In clinical practice, it is important to interpret Δf perception difficulty using a multidisciplinary approach, as a child with difficulty processing frequency could have: APD SLI APD and SLI All of the above

10.  In clinical practice, remediation of atypical Δf perception and other perceptual deficits in a child with both APD and SLI should include: Auditory training and a metalinguistic approach Auditory training only A metalinguistic approach only None of the above
