Abstract EN
The aim of this research was to analyze temporal auditory processing and phonological awareness in school-age children with benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BECTS).
Patient group (GI) consisted of 13 children diagnosed with BECTS.
Control group (GII) consisted of 17 healthy children.
After neurological and peripheral audiological assessment, children underwent a behavioral auditory evaluation and phonological awareness assessment.
The procedures applied were: Gaps-in-Noise test (GIN), Duration Pattern test, and Phonological Awareness test (PCF).
Results were compared between the groups and a correlation analysis was performed between temporal tasks and phonological awareness performance.
GII performed significantly better than the children with BECTS (GI) in both GIN and Duration Pattern test (P<0.001).
GI performed significantly worse in all of the 4 categories of phonological awareness assessed: syllabic (P=0.001), phonemic (P=0.006), rhyme (P=0.015) and alliteration (P=0.010).
Statistical analysis showed a significant positive correlation between the phonological awareness assessment and Duration Pattern test (P<0.001).
From the analysis of the results, it was concluded that children with BECTS may have difficulties in temporal resolution, temporal ordering, and phonological awareness skills.
A correlation was observed between auditory temporal processing and phonological awareness in the suited sample.
