The aim of this study was to correlate 6- to 7-year-old children's results on each condition of the Listening in Spatialised Noise - Sentences test (LiSN-S) with the new language-independent version, the Listening in Spatialised Noise - Universal test (LiSN-U), to examine the strength of the relationship between them and with memory in a small sample of typically developing children. Correlational analysis. Sixteen typically developing 6- to 7-year-old children completed the LiSN-S and LiSN-U as well as the Test of Auditory Processing Skills - Third Edition (TAPS-3) number memory forward and reversed subtests which assess short-term memory and working memory, respectively. Moderate positive correlations were found between LiSN-S and LiSN-U spatially separated conditions (though this did not reach significance), and co-located conditions. Correlations between the LiSN-S and LiSN-U conditions and number memory forward and reversed subtests were not significant. This study shows a moderate relationship between the LiSN-S and LiSN-U when the distractors and target speech are co-located. A study with a larger sample of participants is needed to further understand the relationship between the two tests, especially for the spatially separated condition.
本研究旨在将 6-7 岁儿童在 Listening in Spatialised Noise - Sentences test（LiSN-S）各条件下的结果与新的语言独立版本 Listening in Spatialised Noise - Universal test（LiSN-U）进行相关联，以检验它们与记忆之间的关系在一个小的典型发育儿童样本中。相关性分析。16 名典型发育的 6-7 岁儿童完成了 LiSN-S 和 LiSN-U 以及听觉处理技能测试 - 第三版（TAPS-3）的数字记忆前向和反向子测试，分别评估短期记忆和工作记忆。LiSN-S 和 LiSN-U 空间分离条件（尽管这没有达到显著水平）和共定位条件之间存在中度正相关。LiSN-S 和 LiSN-U 条件与数字记忆前向和反向子测试之间的相关性没有意义。本研究表明，当干扰器和目标语音共定位时，LiSN-S 和 LiSN-U 之间存在中度关系。需要更大样本量的参与者进行研究，以进一步了解这两种测试之间的关系，特别是对于空间分离条件。
