Difficulties related to this ability are not unique to children alone, as adults have been observed to present with the same deficits. Therefore, there is a need to adapt instruments like the SAAAT and provide reference values for adults.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Objective\u2003To assess adult performance on the SAAAT.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003Approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee under n\u00b0 034\/2011. The sample consisted of 30 participants aged between 18 and 30 years old (average age\u2009=\u200924.2 years old), female and male. The inclusion criteria were: peripheral hearing within normal limits, type A tympanometric curve, and no attention-related complaints. The participants were submitted to Tonal Audiometry, Logoaudiometry, Immitanciometry and to the SAAAT.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003The following mean values and standard deviations (SD) were observed: inattention\u2009=\u20091.7 (SD\u2009=\u20092.2) and impulsivity\u2009=\u20090.8 (SD\u2009=\u20090.9) error types. For the SAAAT, the mean value for the total error score was 2.4 (SD\u2009=\u20092.6), and for the decrease in vigilance, it was 0.3 (SD\u2009=\u20090.5). When comparing the performance of adults and children, a statistically significant difference was observed for inattention (p\u2009=\u20090.000) and impulsivity (p\u2009=\u20090.001) error types, as well as in the total error score (p\u2009=\u20090.000) and in decreased vigilance (p\u2009=\u20090.0003).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003The performance of adults in the SAAAT differed from the children's parameters, since adults showed lower scores in all variables of the
