Cortical responses and Cortical responses and functional performancefunctional performance
Do cortical responses tell us about Do cortical responses tell us about real-life auditory performance?real-life auditory performance?
• Parents are asked to describe their baby’s aural/oral
skills based on real-life experiences (listening in quiet
and in noise and alertness to environmental sound)
• Scores are assigned based on the number of observed
behaviors and how frequently these occur.
• Final overall score of 0 – 40 can be calculated (and
reported as a percentage).
