Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Applying ASHA diagnostic criteria (results ≤ 2 SD on at least two PSP-1 subtests), 12 of 412 participants (approximately 2.9%) exhibited difficulties categorized as auditory processing disorder. → Iva I. Hrastinski 2023

q3 · i? · associational · r2
Screening study of 412 mainstream-school children in grades 1–4 in Croatia administered the PSP-1 battery individually. The authors report that "12 (2.9%) participants exhibited difficulties that can be categorized as auditory processing disorder" under the stated cutoff criteria.
"However, after applying diagnostic criteria for APD (results ≤ 2 standard deviations on at least two PSP-1 subtests), 12 (2.9%) participants exhibited difficulties that can be categorized as auditory processing disorder."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Students with APD were rated below average by teachers far more often than non-APD peers, especially in reading and language skills
- Dichotic listening subtests were the most challenging PSP-1 tasks, especially for children with auditory processing difficulties
- PSP-1 performance increases with age across grades 1–4, with significant differences between adjacent age groups on total score
- A right-ear advantage appears in both dichotic listening tasks and decreases with age on the Dichotic Sentences subtest
- Teacher ratings of language and reading skills correlate significantly with PSP-1 total scores, whereas grade point average does not
