Question
Answer
child hearing development - at birth   infant has already had hearing ability for four months; prefers mother's voice  
🗑
child hearing development - at 4 months   infant can discriminate between two phonemes  
🗑
child hearing development - 6 months   infant had learned all sounds/phonemes of language  
🗑
child hearing development - 8 months   infants can distinguish between all phonemes of all languages; e.g. Japanese infants can discern /l/ and /r/ even though these are allophones in Japanese  
🗑
child hearing development - 28 weeks   cochlea fully developed and adult sized  
🗑
initial aspects of pediatric audiometry   1. obtain case history, 2. physical inspection of ears, 3. observe and interact informally with child  
🗑
auditory behavior index: 0 - 6 weeks   eye-blink, eye-widening, startle, arousal/stirring from sleep; 40 dB HL speech  
🗑
auditory behavior index: 6 weeks - 4 months   eye-blink, eye-widening, eye shift, quieting, rudimentary hear rusn starts by 4 months; 47 dB HL speech  
🗑
auditory behavior index: 4 - 7 months   head turn laterally toward sound, listening attitude; 21 dB HL speech  
🗑
auditory behavior index: 7 - 9 months   directly localizes to side, indirectly localizes below ear level; 15 dB HL speech  
🗑
auditory behavior index: 9 - 13 months   directly localizes to side and below ear level, indirectly localizes above ear level; 8 dB HL speech  
🗑
auditory behavior index: 13 - 16 months   directly localizes to side/below/above ear level; 5 dB HL speech  
🗑
minimum response level   MRL; not a hearing threshold  
🗑
pediatric audiometry - two types of measures   1. behavioral, 2. physiological; audiologist will always complete one of each with child  
🗑
behavioral measures   Behavioral Observation Audiometry, Visual Reinforcement Audiometry/Localization Audiometry, Tangible & Visual Reinforcement Operant Conditioning Audiometry, Play Audiometry  
🗑
BOA   Behavioral Observation Audiometry  
🗑
VRA   Visualization Reinforcement Audiometry (also known as Localization Audiometry)  
🗑
TROCA   Tangible Reinforcement Operant Conditioning Audiometry  
🗑
VROCA   Visual Reinforcement Operant Conditioning Audiometry  
🗑
CPA   Conditioned Play Audiometry  
🗑
Behavioral Observation Audiometry   < 4 months; watch baby's response to relatively sudden intense sounds; stimuli presented in sound field; response judged by two examiners  
🗑
BOA - sources of variability   examiner judgement subject to bias; measure responsiveness to sound, not threshold; responses vary with age; habituation; normal range is large  
🗑
Visual Reinforcement Audiometry   5 months - 2 years; single loudspeaker and reinforcer used; reinforcement device is a toy that is illuminated and moves; infant's response must be a clear head to the loudspeaker/reinforcer; responses judged by two examiners  
🗑
Tangible and Visual Reinforcement Operant Conditioning Audiometry   6 - 24 months; speaker placed in front of child; requires simple but specific motor response within range of neuromotor capabilities; reinforce by delivery of tangible or visual reward; fake positives discourages by time out periods  
🗑
Play Audiometry   2 - 5 years; 2 examiners communicate via intercom; requires specific motor response within framework of a game; tell and demonstrate what to do; social reinforcement such as smile, praise, etc.  
🗑
