APD UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
Question:
1. What is the purpose of the Competing Sentences Test in
auditory processing assessment?
Answer:
To evaluate the ability to process competing auditory stimuli.
Question:
2. Ratio of males to females in APD
Answer:
2:1
Question:
3. What does the term 'Monaural Low Redundancy' refer
to?
Answer:
Tests presented to each ear separately with modified speech signals to reduce
redundancy.
Question:
4. What are the criteria for indicating an auditory processing
disorder according to ASHA 2005?
Answer:
Performing 2 standard deviations below the norm on 2 or more tests.
Question:
5. What is the significance of the 'Cocktail Party Effect' in
auditory processing?
Answer:

others.
Question:
6. Define intrinsic redundancy in the context of auditory
processing.
Answer:
Internal redundancy arising from the structure of the central auditory nervous
system.
, Question:
7. Define extrinsic redundancy in auditory processing.
Answer:
External redundancy provided by additional contextual information in the
environment.
Question:
8. What is the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic
redundancy?
