Children with speech sound disorder (SSD) have incomplete phonological acquisition without organic alteration. These children’s exhibits multiple phoneme omission, substitution, and distortion errors. Auditory processing disorders (APD) are associated disorders. Since APD prevents the development of a stable representation phonemes in brain, it may cause issues make semantics, syntax, phonology...

Some fifty years after the first physiological studies of auditory attention, the field is now ripening, with exciting recent insights into the psychophysics, psychology, and neural basis of auditory attention. Current research seeks to unravel the complex interactions of pre-attentive and attentive processing of the acoustic scene, the role of auditory attention in mediating receptive-field pl...

(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 and aim: this study investigated whether objective temporal processing paradigms including voice-onset-time, speech-in-noise, and amplitude modulated-broad-band noise (am-bbn) are sensitive to disrupted temporal processing in elderly listeners with normal hearing (age-related-temporal processing deficit). methods: we evaluated 15 adults aged 64–80 years using behavioural measures of ...

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...

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...

The aim of this study was to describe the speech-language pathology aspects of auditory processing, reading and writing of a male patient diagnosed with Silver-Russell syndrome. With two months of age the patient presented weight-for-height deficit; broad forehead; small, prominent and low-set ears; high palate; discrete micrognathia; blue sclera; cafe-au-lait spots; overlapping of the first an...

Abnormal auditory temporal processing might be an underlying deficit in language disabilities. The auditory temporal-order threshold, one measure for temporal processing abilities, is defined as the shortest time interval between two acoustic events necessary for a person to be able to identify the correct temporal order. In our study, we examined the reliability of the auditory temporal-order ...
