- Abstract
Purpose: to assess the auditory processes of temporal resolution and of the identifying sentences with competitive message in dancers. Methods: a perspective study in which 40 subjects were assessed distributed in two groups: group 1 (dancers) and group 2 (non-dancers). The instruments used in the auditory processing assessment were: Gaps-in-noise test (GIN) and Synthetic Sentence Identification test (SSI). Results: gap thresholds varied from 3 to 6 ms for both groups and did not display a statistical significant difference in the group comparison. There was a statistically significant difference when the percentage of gap identification of both groups was compared with the dancers group presenting a higher mean then the non-dancers group. The SSI test in ipsilateral competing message (rel -10dB) revealed results that varied from 50% to 100% to the dancers group and from 40% to 100% for the non-dancers. The age of beginning of dancing (before or after seven years of age) did not influence the performance in the studied tests. There was no correlation between variables of the obtained findings of the studied tests in the dancers group considering the time of dancing. Conclusion: the dance influenced positively the auditory perception of temporal resolution hence the dancers group presented a better performance than the non-dancers group. Dancing appears to have not influenced the auditory process of figure-ground.
