When a speaker talks, the visible consequences of what they are saying can be seen. This auditory (the speech sound) and visual (movements of the lips and other articulators), or AV speech influences what listeners hear both in noisy listening environments and when auditory speech can easily be heard. Thought to be a cross‐cultural phenomenon that emerges early in typical language development, ...

The central auditory test results for three normal-hearing children who were initially diagnosed as having a central auditory processing disorder and learning disability are presented. They were referred to the authors for second-opinion consultations. Central auditory processing retesting was performed by the authors under the condition of no reinforcement and then the condition of reinforceme...

conclusions the results showed that despite the simultaneous high prevalence of sleep disturbances and sensory processing disorders in children with autism, there isn’t a significant relationship between the two conditions among these children. background autism is a neurological disorder that limits communication, socialization, and participation of children in symbolic play. sensory processin...

Central auditory processing disorders among school-age children have been challenging to identify and treat. Many issues remain that need to be resolved. Here, we compare and contrast findings on 331 school-age children who were given two of the more common central auditory processing disorder tests (Staggered Spondaic Word [SSW] Test and the SCAN Screening Test for Auditory Processing Disorder...

Coding for the degree of disorder in a temporally unfolding sensory input allows for optimized encoding of these inputs via information compression and predictive processing. Prior neuroimaging work has examined sensitivity to statistical regularities within single sensory modalities and has associated this function with the hippocampus, anterior cingulate, and lateral temporal cortex. Here we ...

ôbjective: the mood disorder questionnaire (mdq) has been designed as a screening self-report inventory for diagnosing bipolar mood disorders. this study investigated the validity and the optimal cut-off threshold of the persian version of mdq in a group of ïranian depressive patients. methods: ône hundred and twenty patients with probable diagnosis of mood disorders attending psychiatric clini...

This study compared magnetoencephalographic (MEG) imaging-derived indices of auditory and somatosensory cortical processing in children aged 8-12 years with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; N = 18), those with sensory processing dysfunction (SPD; N = 13) who do not meet ASD criteria, and typically developing control (TDC; N = 19) participants. The magnitude of responses to both auditory and tacti...

PURPOSE The purpose of this article is to provide information that will assist readers in understanding and interpreting research literature on the role of auditory processing in communication disorders. METHOD A narrative review was used to summarize and synthesize the literature on auditory processing deficits in children with auditory processing disorder (APD), specific language impairment...

Central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) may be viewed as a multidimensional entity with far-reaching communicative, educational, and psychosocial implications for which differential diagnosis not only is possible but also is essential to an understanding of its impact and to the development of efficacious, deficit-specific management plans. This paper begins with a description of some behav...

Recent theories suggest that the basis of neurodevelopmental auditory disorders such as dyslexia or specific language impairment might be a low-level sensory dysfunction. In the present study we test this hypothesis in congenital amusia, a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by severe deficits in the processing of pitch-based material. We manipulated the temporal characteristics of audito...
