Phonological speech disorders are characterized by abnormal development towards the adult target pattern; its etiology is unknown. It is thought the this condition results from auditory processing disorders involving the abilities required for human beings to understand what is heard.
To investigate the relationship between auditory processing and the acquisition of disordered or normal speech, drawing comparisons between these profiles.
A prospective, contemporary, cross-sectional study comprising a sample of 44 subjects aged 5 to 7 years; two groups were formed: a study group (SG) comprising children with disordered speech acquisition, and a control group (CG) consisting of children with normal speech acquisition. A simplified evaluation of auditory processing was undertaken: the PSI test in Portuguese; the speech-in-noise test; the binaural fusion test; the dichotic digit test; and the staggered spondaic word test (SSW).
There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups; the SG scored worse than the CG in all the tests. The PSI test only - with a 100% success rate - scored equally in both groups.
Auditory processing may affect speech development.
语音障碍的特征是向成人目标模式的异常发展；其病因不明。人们认为这种情况是由于听觉处理障碍引起的，涉及到人类理解所听到的内容所需的能力。
研究听觉处理与获得障碍或正常语音之间的关系，并对这些特征进行比较。
这是一项前瞻性、当代、横断面研究，共纳入 44 名年龄在 5 至 7 岁的受试者；分为两组：研究组（SG）由语音习得障碍的儿童组成，对照组（CG）由语音习得正常的儿童组成。对听觉处理进行了简化评估：葡萄牙语 PSI 测试；噪声下语音测试；双耳融合测试；数字二分测试；交错分音节词测试（SSW）。
两组之间存在统计学差异；SG 在所有测试中的得分均低于 CG。PSI 测试在两组中的成功率均为 100%，得分相同。
听觉处理可能会影响语音发展。
