Objective To analyze the cognitive-related behaviors of preschool children with different auditory processing abilities,and to explore the relationship between auditory processing ability and cognitive-related behaviors of preschool children.Methods For the 48 children with low risk of auditory processing disorder and the 48 children with high risk of auditory processing disorder identified by the preschool auditory processing assessment scale in the normative study con-ducted in Nanjing for children aged 4-6 years old in August 2021,who were seen at the Pediatric Healthcare Department of Nanjing Maternal and Child Healthcare Hospital and the children in Nanjing kindergartens,respectively.The Wechsler preschool and primary intelligence scale-Ⅳ(WPPSI-Ⅳ),the kiddie continuous performance test(K-CPT),and the Conners parent symptom questionnaire(PSQ)were used to evaluate the children's intelligence,attention,and behavior problems,and the differences in behavioral performance between the low-risk group and high-risk group and the relation-ship between behavioral performance and auditory processing ability were compared.Results Compared with the low-risk group,the high-risk group had lower verbal comprehension composite scores on the WPPSI-kiddie continuous per-formance test(Z=-2.484,P＜0.05),more errors on the K-CPT,more stimulus changes,and higher scores on each be-havior problem factor on the PSQ(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that verbal comprehension composite scores on the WPPSI-Ⅳ,total scores and scores on all dimensions except auditory attention on the K-CPT,and scores on all dimensions except communication,visual attention,and auditory processing on the PSQ were correlated with total scores and all dimensions(P＜0.05).Anxiety on the PSQ was correlated with total scores and all dimensions except communication and visual attention(P＜0.05).The results of the multiple linear regression showed that auditory process-ing scores on the K-CPT were significantly related to verbal comprehension composite scores on the WPPSI-Ⅳ(β=-0.601,P＜0.05).Conclusion The behavioral performance of preschool children with different auditory processing a-bilities is different,and their auditory processing abilities are related to their behavioral performance.
