Abstract
A factor analysis of scores on the 12 scales of the Olguin Diagnostic Test of Auditory Perception (ODTAP) and of those on two measures from a standardized reading test and on six personal-family-demographic factors revealed six interpretable dimensions for a sample of 95 Spanish language-oriented (SPLO) children in the first and second grades. The ODTAP measure was designed to provide reception (R) (discrimination) and expression (E) (reproduction) scores on each of six scales intended to represent six phonological categories of juncture, consonants, vowels, digraphs, airflow, and intonation. Support was found for the conclusion that a distinction does indeed exist between the receptive and expressive dimensions of auditory perception as measured by the ODTAP.
