This study investigated the effects of multimedia presentations on the efficiency of learning scientific information (i.e. information on basic anatomy of human brains and their functions, the definition of cognitive psychology, and the structure of human memory). Experiment 1 investigated whether the modality effect could be observed when the learning material contained auditory information an...

BACKGROUND Auditory verbal hallucinations are a characteristic symptom in schizophrenia. Recent causal models of auditory verbal hallucinations propose that cognitive mechanisms involving verbal working memory are involved in the genesis of auditory verbal hallucinations. Thus, in the present study, we investigate the hypothesis that verbal working memory is a specific factor behind auditory ve...

Study Objectives Memories are strengthened during sleep. The benefits of sleep for memory can be enhanced by re-exposing the sleeping brain to auditory cues; a technique known as targeted memory reactivation (TMR). Prior studies have not assessed the nature of the retrieval mechanisms underpinning TMR: the matching process between auditory stimuli encountered during sleep and previously encoded...

BACKGROUND The pathophysiology of auditory verbal hallucinations remains poorly understood. AIMS To characterise the time course of regional brain activity leading to auditory verbal hallucinations. METHOD During functional magnetic resonance imaging, 11 patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder signalled auditory verbal hallucination events by pressing a button. To contro...

UNLABELLED Many children with auditory processing disorders have a high prevalence of otitis media, a middle ear alterations greatly prevalent in children with palatine and lip clefts. AIM To check the performance of children with palate cleft alone (PC) in auditory processing tests. Prospective study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty children (7 to 11 years) with CP were submitted to sound loc...

introduction: tinnitus is a perception of sound without external source. for complete assessment of tinnitus, central auditory processing abilities should be considered in addition to the routine psychological evaluation of tinnitus characteristics. temporal processing is one of the important auditory skills that are necessary for complex higher level auditory processing.   materials and method...

Objectives: A common concern in some cochlear-implanted children is the lack of desired progress auditory and listening skills. Such a remains despite proper verbal processor programming, additional disabilities, continuous participation hearing rehabilitation programs. more detailed assessment pathways centers processing at lower end brain stem by measuring time Electrical Stapedius Reflex (ES...

In humans, theta phase (4-8 Hz) synchronization observed on electroencephalography (EEG) plays an important role in the manipulation of mental representations during working memory (WM) tasks; fronto-temporal synchronization is involved in auditory-verbal WM tasks and fronto-parietal synchronization is involved in visual WM tasks. However, whether or not theta phase synchronization is able to s...

Objectives: to verify the effects of a speech therapy intervention program in children after moderate and severe traumatic brain injury using electrophysiological behavioral assessment central auditory processing. Method: Five aged 9 11 years old who suffered closed trauma or degree for at least 6 months, right-handed, literate before injury, diagnosed with Central Auditory Processing Reading W...

BACKGROUND Chess is a game that involves many aspects of high level cognition such as memory, attention, focus and problem solving. Long term practice of chess can improve cognition performances and behavioral skills. Auditory memory, as a kind of memory, can be influenced by strengthening processes following long term chess playing like other behavioral skills because of common processing path...
