Background: In this study, the question of whether auditory training for children with a reading and spelling disorder and a central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) can improve spelling performance is investigated. The training apparatus was the Audiva Company‘s DichoTrainer. Method: Dichotic discrimination, auditory/kinaesthetic perception and behavioral strengths and peculiarities as well...

A uditory processing disorder (often called CAPD) is not a new entity. For decades, there has been an awareness among members of our own profession and others that individuals exist who, despite normal peripheral hearing sensitivity, exhibit auditory difficulties, especially in challenging listening environments . In 1954, Helmer Myklebust, in his book Auditory Disorders in Children, discussed ...

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...

The auditory-evoked P1m, recorded by magnetoencephalography, reflects a central auditory processing ability in human children. One recent study revealed that asynchrony of P1m between the right and left hemispheres reflected a central auditory processing disorder (i.e., attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD) in children. However, to date, the relationship between auditory P1m right-lef...

objectives: this study investigated the efficacy of working memory training for improving working memory capacity and related auditory stream segregation in auditory processing disorders children. methods: fifteen subjects (9-11 years), clinically diagnosed with auditory processing disorder participated in this non-randomized case-controlled trial. working memory abilities and auditory stream s...

This study reports longitudinal follow-up of 300 children with developmental dysphasia. Their expressive disturbances are a manifestation of their auditory decoding impairment. These children were investigated on battery of tests of spoken language, of phonological processing and of different audiometric procedures, in order to register all the information necessary to be able judge the speech-...

This study aims to investigate working, declarative, and procedural memory in children with (central) auditory processing disorder who showed poor phonological awareness. Thirty 9- and 10-year-old children participated in the study and were distributed into two groups: a control group consisting of 15 children with typical development, and an experimental group consisting of 15 children with (c...
