Perhaps of greater interest, when
dichotic listening performance was correlated with a negative symptom from the PANSS interview questionnaire, correlations were all non-significant and close to zero (see right-hand panels of Figure 4).
The Staggered Spondaic Words (SSW) test [15], a measure of
dichotic listening, presents 40 pairs of "spondaic" words, each "spondee" consisting of two complete one syllable words (e.g., "cupcake") spoken with equal emphasis on both syllables.
Dichotic listening test (DL): This test evaluates hemispheric processing and ear preference, taking into account variables such as attention, concentration or type of information to be processed (Gadea, Gomez, & Espert, 2000).
Within participants, we manipulated attention using
dichotic listening (Broadbent, 1958) and shadowing (Cherry, 1953).
The iPhone app for
dichotic listening is called iDichotic and was launched on the App Store in 2011, where it can be downloaded for free.
Most of the studies have used either
dichotic listening or visual hemifield tests.
(C)APD is a deficit in the ability to process and channel information through the auditory system, reflected in difficulty in some or all of the following auditory tasks: sound localization and lateralization,
dichotic listening, temporal processing, and sound discrimination in competing or degraded listening conditions.

The present experiment differed from
dichotic listening studies in one important way.
