Prediction of Hearing Sensitivity from Acoustic Reflexes in Mentally Retarded Persons

Niswander, Paul S.; Ruth, Roger A.

American Journal of Mental Deficiency, 81, 5, 474-81, Mar 77

The ability of the sensitivity prediction from acoustic reflex (SPAR) technique to estimate hearing loss in 32 trainable mentally retarded Ss (adults and young adults with normal to profound hearing loss) was investigated by comparing measured pure-tone thresholds determined through tangible-reinforcement operant-conditioning audiometry with predicted sensitivity from the SPAR procedure.
