The pitch pattern test is one of the auditory processing evaluation tests, estimated to have a sensitivity of about 30%. During this test, three tones with different pitches are presented to a person's ears, and he must recognize their pattern and respond in the prescribed manner. One of these ways of expression is imitating or whispering a pattern. This research evaluated and calculated the pitch pattern recognition indices for 139 right-handed and Persian-speaking children aged 8 to 12. The children included 63 boys with an average age of 10.05±1.47 years and 76 girls with an average age of 1.04±1.40 years, who were randomly collected from primary schools.
The data of the pitch pattern test using the whispering method did not show any significant difference between boys and girls. These data also showed that this method will not differ between the left and right ear scores. However, increasing the child's age between 8 and 12 can improve the scores. despite the improvement of pitch pattern test results with increasing age in children, children's gender does not affect these results. The degree of discrimination of the pitch pattern for the left and right ears using the whispering method is also the same.
