INTRODUCTION Considering the importance of auditory information for the acquisition and organization of phonological rules, the assessment of (central) auditory processing contributes to both the diagnosis and targeting of speech therapy in children with speech sound disorders. OBJECTIVE To study phonological measures and (central) auditory processing of children with speech sound disorder. ...

Unilateral temporal lobe ablations have become a common treatment procedure for intractable epilepsy. Five children, ranging in age from 11 to 16 years, received a battery of tests to evaluate possible postoperative changes in central auditory processing functions. Children were tested before surgery and at 1 year following surgery. Tests included the SCAN test for central auditory processing, ...

Central auditory processing assessment has been used as a diagnostic tool for almost 50 years. The dichotic listening paradigm was introduced by Broadbent (1954) and, following Kimura’s first studies (1963), a large volume of research has been produced. Processing of auditory information during childhood may be altered if any predisposing factor is present during the course of development. Neur...

Historically, there has been much debate among professionals in many disciplines regarding the nature of central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) and the best means of diagnosing and treating it. In recent years, professionals in the fields of audiology, speech-language pathology, education, and related disciplines have witnessed a dramatic upsurge in interest regarding CAPD in both children...
