INTRODUCTION  The attention is an underlying neuropsychology function to all the cognitive processes. The auditory deficiency compromises the normal development of the child, modifying diverse auditory abilities, including the attention. OBJECTIVE  to compare the performance of children in the Test of the Ability of Auditory Attention Support, as for the different forms of application (auricu...

To what extent is simultaneous visual and auditory perception subject to capacity limitations and attentional control? TlIW experiments addressed this question by asking observers to recognize test tones and test letters under selective and divided attention. In Experiment I, both stimuli occurred on each trial, but subjects were cued in advance to process just one or both of the stimuli. In Ex...

BACKGROUND hearing loss during childhood is considered a risk factor for developmental delay. AIM to verify the performance of children diagnosed with mild hearing loss, conductive and sensorineural, in the Sustained Auditory Attention Ability Test (SAAAT). The purpose of the study was to verify if the test is influenced by the presence of hearing impairment. METHOD a clinical study of the ...

background :older adults with cerebrovascular accident (cva) show evidence of auditory and speech perception problems. in present study, it was examined whether these problems are due to impairments of concurrent auditory segregation procedure which is the basic level of auditory scene analysis and auditory organization in auditory scenes with competing sounds. methods : concurrent auditory seg...

objectives: rehabilitation strategies play a pivotal role in reliving the inappropriate behaviors and improving children's performance during school. concentration and visual and auditory comprehension in children are crucial to effective learning and have drawn interest from researchers and clinicians. vestibular function deficits usually cause high level of alertness and vigilance, and p...

PURPOSE Information-processing limitations have been associated with language problems in children with specific language impairment (SLI). These processing limitations may be associated with limitations in attentional capacity, even in the absence of clinically significant attention deficits. In this study, the authors examined the performance of 4- to 6-year-old children with SLI and their ty...

Background: The language profiles of children with language impairment (LI) and bilingual children can show partial, and possibly temporary, overlap. The current study examined the persistence of this overlap over time. Furthermore, we aimed to better understand why the language profiles of these two groups show resemblance, testing the hypothesis that the language difficulties of children with...

Previous research has indicated that field-dependent children display poorer performance than field-independent children in almost all academic subjects and cognitive tasks. However, the processes underlying this poorer performance remain unclear. The present study aimed to assess whether children with different FDI cognitive styles show differences in performance of tasks measuring aspects of ...
