Thirty learning disabled elementary grade students were given the Flowers Auditory Test of Selective Attention and the Goldman Fristoe Woodcock Auditory Selective Attention Test. Weak but significant correlations between the two tests of auditory selective attention suggested that the tests do not measure exactly the same constructs. (Author/DB)

The study examined 2 procedures--the ABX Test and the Oddity Task--for assessing the perception of 25 elementary grade phonologically disordered children of their own speech error sounds. Findings indicated both measures were promising and aided in identifying children whose perceptual errors influenced their speech-sound production. (DB)
