Auditory sequencing ability was studied in 18 five and 18 nine year old normal-hearing children, and in 18 hearing-impaired children aged 6 to 14 years. Subjects selected were able to repeat syllables differing in initial consonant or final vowel and identify pictures corresponding to 200-msec. environmental sounds. Sequences of 2, 3 and 4 such items were recorded at 1, 2 and 4 items per second. Significant interactions between type of stimuli, sequence length and rate were obtained. Normal-hearing children and, to a lesser extent, hearing-impaired children had greater facility in recalling verbal than nonverbal sequences. For aIl groups, the fastest rate was optimal for consonants, and the slowest rate for nonverbal sounds. Normal children were superior to hearing-impaired subjects on verbal sequences. On nonverbal sequences, hearing-impaired were more accurate than normal five year olds, but less accurate than nine year olds. Implications for auditory training are discussed. / L'habilite de suivre un ordre auditif fut étudiee chez des enfants d'audition normale de cinq et neuf ans et chez des sujets atteints de surdite, ages de 6 à 14 ans, 18 pour chaque groupe. Les sujets choisis pouvaient repeter des syllabes enregistrees, identifier des images correspondant à des sons d'entourage de 200 msec. de duree. Des ordres de 2, 3 et 4 de ces stimuli furent enregistrés au rythme de 1, 2 et 4 stimuli par seconde. Les enfants d'audition normale et, d'une façon moins eVidente, les enfants atteints de surdité avaient une plus grande facilite à se rappeler des ordres verbaux plutôt que non-verbaux. Pour tous les groupes, la vitesse la plus rapide fut optimale pour les consonnes, et la vitesse la plus lente, pour les sons non-verbaux. Les sujets d'audition normale furent superieurs à ceux atteints de surdité, pour les ordres verbaux mais ces derniers, furent supérieur aux sujets ages de cinq ans et non pas de neuf ans, pour les ordres non-verbaux. Des implications pour l'entraînement auditif sont discutes. fr

No / Autobiographical memory (AM) concerns the ability to remember past events from one's own life and consists of autobiographical knowledge (personal facts) and autobiographical incidents (personal events). The novelty of this research was to assess both personal factual and personal event AM in Parkinson's disease (PD) for specified lifetime periods. An autobiographical fluency task was used in which participants were asked to recall personal events and personal facts from five separate lifetime periods. Previous findings as well the brain regions affected in PD lead to the hypothesis that Parkinson's patients would recall less autobiographical memories especially for the most recent lifetime periods. Sixteen non-demented and non-depressed Parkinson's patients and sixteen age-education-matched controls participated. The results showed a temporal gradient for the recall of personal events in Parkinson's patients as they recalled fewer events for recent time periods. The PD group also had more difficulties in recalling autobiographical events rather than an autobiographical knowledge. The difficulty in recalling autobiographical events was characterized by overgenerality, with PD patients failing to generate specific episodic memories.
