There is an increasing need for state-of-the-art Central Auditory Processing assessment for Portuguese native speakers, applicable as early as possible. As a contribution to answering this need, this paper presents a new battery for Central Auditory Processing assessment for European Portuguese applicable to children aged 5 and above, named BAPA-PE, providing information regarding test selection and development. The battery consists of six behavioral tests: Staggered Spondaic Words (SSW) for European Portuguese, Filtered Speech, Speech in Noise, Detection Interval in Noise, Duration, and Frequency Pattern. The normative data for children aged 5 to 12 are also reported. A sample was obtained of 217 subjects without ear pathology and with typical development. Each age group was composed of at least 30 children. All children were evaluated using pure tone audiometry, speech audiometry, impedance, and otoacoustic emissions. Normative scores are reported for each of the six auditory processing tests. The assessment is applicable to young children (aged 5 and 6). The statistical analyses showed significant effects in scores of Age for all tests and of Ear for several tests. The main result from the work presented, the Auditory Processing Assessment Battery-European Portuguese (BAPA-PE), is available for clinical use with normative data. This battery is a new tool for behaviorism assessment of European Portuguese speakers with suspected central auditory pathology and for monitoring the results of auditory training.
对于以葡萄牙语为母语的人来说，对最先进的中枢听觉处理评估的需求日益增加，并且这种评估应尽早适用。作为满足这一需求的一项贡献，本文介绍了一种适用于5岁及以上儿童的欧洲葡萄牙语中枢听觉处理评估新测试组，名为BAPA-PE，并提供了有关测试选择和开发的信息。该测试组由六项行为测试组成：欧洲葡萄牙语的交错扬扬格词（SSW）、滤波言语、噪声中的言语、噪声中的检测间隔、时长和频率模式。还报告了5至12岁儿童的常模数据。获得了217名无耳部病变且发育正常的受试者样本。每个年龄组至少由30名儿童组成。所有儿童均接受了纯音听力测定、言语听力测定、声阻抗和耳声发射评估。报告了六项听觉处理测试中每项测试的常模分数。该评估适用于幼儿（5岁和6岁）。统计分析表明，所有测试的年龄分数以及几项测试的耳朵分数都有显著影响。所介绍工作的主要成果，即欧洲葡萄牙语听觉处理评估测试组（BAPA-PE），可用于临床并提供常模数据。该测试组是用于对疑似中枢听觉病变的欧洲葡萄牙语使用者进行行为评估以及监测听觉训练结果的新工具。
