Working memory deficiency has been implicated in developmental disorders of scholastic skills. The auditory P50 component of event-related potentials reflecting preattentive processing was investigated in 38 children with developmental disorders of scholastic skills and 19 sibling control children, as elicited during a working memory test. The P50 was evoked by two tones of low and high frequen...

OBJECTIVE To identify a cutoff value based on the Percentage of Consonants Correct-Revised index that could indicate the likelihood of a child with a speech-sound disorder also having a (central) auditory processing disorder . METHODS Language, audiological and (central) auditory processing evaluations were administered. The participants were 27 subjects with speech-sound disorders aged 7 to ...

To measure the level of residual cognitive function in patients with disorders of consciousness, the use of electrophysiological and neuroimaging protocols of increasing complexity is recommended. This work presents an EEG-based method capable of assessing at an individual level the integrity of the auditory cortex at the bedside of patients and can be seen as the first cortical stage of this h...

Concepts in cognitive neuroscience fundamental to intervention are summarized. The functional plasticity of the maturing central nervous system offers opportunity to improve auditory processing skills. A comprehensive approach to improve listening comprehension and learning in children and youth with central auditory processing disorders is outlined. The management approach emphasizes developme...

The purpose of this project was to determine whether a monaural FM or binaural FM fitting strategy is more appropriate for children with Auditory Processing Disorders

Background: Central auditory processing disorders (CAPDs) tend to affect an individual’s ability understand speech, especially in difficult listening conditions.Objective: To study speech-in-noise (SIN) cases of central subjectively by Arabic Hearing Noise Test (A-HINT) and objectively Speech-evoked brainstem response (S-ABR) with ipsilateral noise.Patients Methods: Subjects included this will ...

This study was designed to evaluate maximum length sequences-auditory brainstem responses (MLS-ABR) in children with auditory processing disorders and to compare these results with a normal control group matched for age, intelligence, and gender. Although each waveform was analyzed for the presence of waves I, III, and V, the primary focus was wave V. Although absolute latency measures for wave...

Impairment in social cognition, including emotion recognition, has been extensively studied in both Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Schizophrenia (SZ). However, the relative patterns of deficit between disorders have been studied to a lesser degree. Here, we applied a social cognition battery incorporating both auditory (AER) and visual (VER) emotion recognition measures to a group of 19 hi...

Early effects of risperidone (2.5 +/- 1 mg/day) on auditory information processing were investigated in 9 neuroleptic naive patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and 9 healthy controls by using event-related potentials (ERPs). ERPs were elicited during active auditory "oddball" paradigm and were recorded before and after two weeks of treatment. Baseline P3 latencies were significantly ...
