Development of Selective Auditory Attention Skills in Children.

Cherry, Rochelle Silberzweig

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v52 n2 p379-85 Apr 1981

Fifty-three children (ages 5-9) were individually tested on their ability to select pictures of monosyllabic words presented diotically via headphones. Tasks were presented in quiet and under three noise (distractor) conditions: white noise, speech backwards, and speech forward. Age and type of distractor significantly influenced test scores.
