Systematic review on neuropsychological assessment tests for children with hearing impairment
Journal Title: Revista Eugenio Espejo - Year 2021, Vol 15, Issue 3
Abstract
This research aimed to determine the most effective neuropsychological assessment tests for children with hearing impairment through a systematic review from published scientific evidence. The searching process was carried out from May to September 2020, including the databases: Redalyc, SciELO, Ebsco, Hinari and Scopus. The selected articles had up to 10 years of publication, written in English languages. The information systematized in the bibliography made it possible to determine the reliable tests of the neuropsychological development evaluation in pedagogical patients with hearing disabilities: vocabulary (Peabody Imaging Vocabulary Test), language (Clinical Evaluation of the Fundamentals of Language test), executive functioning (Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Function and the Woodcock Johnson Cognitive Ability Tests), intelligence (Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test). On the other hand, the AWARD computerized test, the Boston Vocabulary Test and the Sentence Recognition Skills Test (HINT) were evaluated with lower operability.
