  • Title: Relationship between two dichotic listening tests and the Token test for children.
    Author: Harris VL, Keith RW, Novak KK.
    Journal: Ear Hear; 1983; 4(6):278-82. PubMed ID: 6653930.
    Abstract:
    The relationship between two dichotic listening tasks was studied. The two dichotic tests used were the Staggered Spondaic Word (SSW) test and the directed Dichotic Consonant-Vowel (CV) test. These measures were administered to 104 children between the ages of 6.0 and 8.0 yrs. The subjects were divided into two groups according to their Token test scores with group I having normal Token test scores and group II having below average scores on the Token test. When the performances of the two groups on the SSW test were compared, a significant difference was found between them on the right and left competing conditions of the test. There was no difference between the groups on any response bias. On the directed Dichotic CV test the two groups were significantly different on the right ear scores but not on the left ear scores under both directed conditions. The groups were also significantly different on the directed right task when the difference between the two ear scores was compared but not on the directed left task. It was concluded that there is a relationship between these two dichotic measures and the Token Test for Children.
