Purpose: The purpose of this article is to review the literature that pertains to ongoing concerns regarding the central auditory processing construct among school-aged children and to assess whether the degree of uncertainty surrounding central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) warrants a change in current protocols. Method: Methodology on this topic included a review of relevant and recent ...

Central auditory processing is essential for the perception of speech, environmental sounds and music, and may be deranged in two ways. Lesions of the ascending auditory pathway or cortex can produce deficits. Abnormal activity of the central auditory system is becoming increasingly recognized in disorders such as tinnitus. Recent work has investigated sound processing by the unconscious brain;...

INTRODUCTION Stuttering is a speech fluency disorder, and may be associated with neuroaudiological factors linked to central auditory processing, including changes in auditory processing skills and temporal resolution. OBJECTIVE To characterize the temporal processing and long-latency auditory evoked potential in stutterers and to compare them with non-stutterers. METHODS The study included...

A comprehensive assessment of central auditory processing disorders includes parent questionnaires. The Scale of Audi tory Behaviors (SAB) was developed to evaluate the limitations and difficulties perceived by guardians of children in everyday activities.The aim of the study was to provide normative data for the SAB for Argentinian healthy children. The parents and guardians of eighty-four chi...

(Central) auditory processing disorder (C)APD has been defined as a neural deficit in the processing of auditory stimuli and its underlying brain activity (Chermak & Musiek, 2007), although there is no consensus in the field surrounding its definition, diagnosis, assessment or intervention (DeBonis & Moncrieff, 2008; McArthur, 2009). Auditory training is one form of intervention often used to t...

BACKGROUND Auditory processing disorders involve deficits in the processing of information in the auditory domain that are not due to higher order language, cognitive or other related factors. PURPOSE To evaluate the possibility of structural brain abnormalities in preterm children manifesting as auditory processing disorders. RESEARCH DESIGN A case report of a young girl, preterm at birth,...

OBJECTIVE An increasing number of children seem to have a deficiency in Central Processing as a reason for reading and writing difficulties (RWD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD). There is often also a delay in phonological consciousness. A test would therefore be useful to distinguish children with RWD and ADD. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study involved 75 consecutive schoolchildren from t...
