Abstract

The study aims to assess the maturation of listening effort (LE) in typically developing children. A total of 140 participants were equally divided into seven age groups: 7 to 7.11 years old, 8 to 8.11 years old, 9 to 9.11 years old, 10 to 10.11 years old, 11 to 11.11 years old, 12 to 12.11 years old, and adults aged 18 to 30. LE was assessed using a dual-tasking paradigm, which included a primary task- repeating words and a secondary task- clicking the right mouse button for a square image and the left button for a triangle image on a laptop screen. The results indicated that age significantly influenced performance on LE's primary and secondary tasks. By age nine, children's performance on primary tasks was statistically comparable to that of adults, whereas by age 12, their secondary task performance reached adult-like levels. Moreover, age was strongly correlated with overall LE outcomes. In conclusion, the study underscores the pivotal role of age in shaping LE performance. The strong correlation between age and overall LE outcomes emphasizes the importance of incorporating age-specific strategies in both assessment and intervention protocols for LE.

典型发育儿童倾听努力的成熟。

本研究旨在评估正常发育儿童听力努力的成熟度。共有140名参与者被平均分为7个年龄组：7至7.11岁、8至8.11岁、9至9.11岁、10至10.11岁、11至11.11岁、12至12.11岁以及18至30岁的成年人。LE是用双任务模式评估的，其中包括一个主要任务——重复单词和一个次要任务——在笔记本电脑屏幕上点击鼠标右键查看方形图像，点击鼠标左键查看三角形图像。结果表明，年龄对小学生主要任务和次要任务的表现有显著影响。到9岁时，儿童在主要任务上的表现在统计上与成年人相当，而到12岁时，他们的次要任务表现达到了成年人的水平。此外，年龄与总体LE结果密切相关。总之，该研究强调了年龄在塑造LE表现中的关键作用。年龄与总体LE结果之间的强相关性强调了在LE评估和干预方案中纳入年龄特异性策略的重要性。
