Auditory Research in Children Living With HIV Exposure-uninfected (ARCHIVE)

A total of five trials will be presented in a sequence and there will be 10 sequences per training session. Each of the 25 consonant-vowel-consonant words or digits 1 through 10 (excluding 7) will be presented to each ear during the session. The pairs will be randomized every time, and a word will never be paired with itself. After a sequence is completed, the difficulty of the task will be adjusted, in real time, based on performance on the prior task. If the child scored 4 or 5 of 5 correct in the poorer ear, then the IID will be decreased by 2 dB making the task more difficult. If the child scores 0, 1, or 2 of 5 correct, then the IID will be increased by 2 dB making the task easier. Last, if the child scores 3 of 5 correct, then the IID will remain unchanged for the next sequence.
