BACKGROUND To validate the Persian version of the simple shoulder test in patients with shoulder joint problems. METHODS Following Beaton`s guideline, translation and back translation was conducted. We reached to a consensus on the Persian version of SST. To test the face validity in a pilot study, the Persian SST was administered to 20 individuals with shoulder joint conditions. We enrolled ...

INTRODUCTION Dichotic listening tests should be used in local languages and adapted for the population. OBJECTIVE Standardize the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Dichotic Sentence Identification test in normal listeners, comparing the performance for age and ear. METHODS This prospective study included 200 normal listeners divided into four groups according to age: 13-19 years (GI), 20-...

UNLABELLED Conductive hearing loss in the first years of life may lead to hearing processing and attention deficit disorders, and consequently to communication and learning impairments. AIM this paper aims to examine the performance of children with cleft lip and palate in dichotic listening tests (directed attention mode) and compare them to a control group without cleft lip and palate. MA...

ABSTRACT Purpose To analyze the performance of normal-hearing adults with communication complaints in Dichotic Sentences Test. Methods We selected from database 15 participants normal results Digits Test, aged between 19 and 44 years, right-handed, who reported communicative complaints. The Test was applied using two protocols consisting four different combinations lists called sequences 1 2, f...

Several studies have reported age-related decline in auditory temporal resolution and in working memory. However, earlier studies did not provide evidence as to whether these declines reflect overall changes in the same mechanisms, or reflect age-related changes in two independent mechanisms. In the current study we examined whether the age-related decline in auditory temporal resolution and in...

Several auditory processing deficits have been reported in children with dyslexia. In order to assess for the presence of a binaural integration type of auditory processing deficit, dichotic listening tests with digits, words and consonant-vowel (CV) pairs were administered to two groups of right-handed 11-year-old children, one group diagnosed with developmental dyslexia and an age-matched con...

In a set of stochastic simulations, which we collectively call the digit test, we compare the widely used linear congruential with the new inversive random number generators. The inversive generators are found to perform always at least as good as any of the linear congruential generators; in some simulation runs, they perform signiicantly better.
