The current study evaluated processes underlying two common symptoms (i.e., state regulation problems and deficits in auditory processing) associated with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders. Although these symptoms have been treated in the literature as unrelated, when informed by the Polyvagal Theory, these symptoms may be viewed as the predictable consequences of depressed neural regula...

UNLABELLED Temporal resolution is essential to speech acoustic perception. It may be altered in subjects with auditory disorders, thus impairing the development of spoken and written language. AIM The goal was to compare temporal resolution of children with normal hearing, with those bearing conductive hearing loss and auditory processing disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample had 31 c...

Introduction: Auditory temporal resolution and auditory temporal ordering are two major components of the auditory temporal processing abilities that contribute to speech perception and language development. Auditory temporal resolution and auditory temporal ordering can be evaluated by gap-in-noise (GIN) and pitch-pattern-sequence (PPS) tests, respectively. In this survey, the effect of biling...

This article reviews the temporal aspects of human hearing as measured using the auditory evoked potentials. Interaural timing cues are essential to the detection and localization of sound sources. The temporal envelope of a sound--how it changes in amplitude over time--is crucially important for speech perception. Time is taken to integrate, identify, and dissolve auditory streams. These tempo...

A lthough the etiology and nature of central auditory processing disorders (CAPD) remain unresolved (ASHA, 1992; Musiek, Gollegly, & Ross, 1985), performance deficits associated with this complex group of disorders are well documented. Children with CAPD present deficits in auditory perception and auditory-language processing (Katz, 1992; Keith, 1983; Willeford & Burleigh, 1985). In addition to...

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,...

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: According to previous studies, most of the speech recognition disorders in older adults are the results of deficits in audibility and auditory temporal resolution. In this paper, the effect of ageing on timecompressed speech and auditory temporal resolution by word recognition in continuous and interrupted noise was studied. Methods: A time-compressed speech test (TCST) w...
