Abstract
The Staggered Spondaic Word (SSW) Test was developed as a means to assess central auditory function. In the present study, the SSW Test was administered to a group of normal-hearing young adults (N = 86) with no history of central auditory problems in an attempt to evaluate previous normative data and the types of errors made by this group. Mean number of errors for corrected (C-SSW) scores were consistent with the normal category established by Katz. Response bias (ear effects, order effects, and reversals) was not prevalent in this population. Although two subjects obtained a significant number of reversals, it seemed that changes in listening strategy rather than auditory dysfunction was accountable for this finding.
