Staggered Spondaic Word (SSW) test results were studied in 93 normally achieving children and 97 children referred to a learning disabilities clinic. All subjects were 8-11 years of age. The SSW test was found to differentiate between the normally achieving children and those experiencing classroom learning difficulties. Further, it was found that the performance of the normally achieving group was generally better than current test norms would imply. This finding suggests the use of stricter criteria in determining when a child is at risk for central auditory processing difficulties. Results for children with classroom learning difficulties show a progression toward better performance with age, except for the Left-Competing condition. This makes it unclear whether one can or cannot expect some resolution of auditory processing difficulties by age 11.
对93名学习正常的儿童和97名被转介到学习障碍诊所的儿童的交错扬扬格词（SSW）测试结果进行了研究。所有受试者年龄在8至11岁之间。研究发现，SSW测试能够区分学习正常的儿童和那些在课堂学习中遇到困难的儿童。此外，还发现学习正常组的表现总体上优于当前测试标准所显示的情况。这一发现表明，在确定儿童何时存在中枢听觉处理困难风险时应使用更严格的标准。课堂学习困难儿童的测试结果显示，除了左竞争条件外，随着年龄增长表现逐渐变好。这使得目前尚不清楚是否可以预期到11岁时听觉处理困难会有所缓解。
