Portable Automated Rapid Testing (PART) is an iPad application (https://braingamecenter.ucr.edu/games/p-a-r-t/) capable of measuring various psychoacoustic thresholds (speech on speech masking, temporal, spectral, and spectrotemporal modulation detection, temporal gap detection, frequency modulation tasks, and pure tone detection in noise) in an automated and rapid format using commercially available headphones. The app has been validated previously in native speakers of English and an adapted version of the app has been validated in young normal hearing listeners from Mexico. Here, we present psychoacoustic threshold data for a large cohort of younger college going listeners from India whose native language is not English but are proficient in English. The thresholds obtained from this group will be compared against previously published thresholds based on native speakers of English. It is hypothesized that there will not be any significant differences in thresholds between listeners from India and the thresholds published in the literature. These results will give us the required evidence to start using this freely available app to measure reliable thresholds of various central auditory processing measures in non-native speakers of English who are proficient in the language as well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
