چکیده

background :older adults with cerebrovascular accident (cva) show evidence of auditory and speech perception problems. in present study, it was examined whether these problems are due to impairments of concurrent auditory segregation procedure which is the basic level of auditory scene analysis and auditory organization in auditory scenes with competing sounds. methods : concurrent auditory segregation using competing sentence test (cst) and dichotic digits test (ddt) was assessed and compared in 30 male older adults (15 normal and 15 cases with right hemisphere cva) in the same age groups (60-75 years old). for the cst, participants were presented with target message in one ear and competing message in the other one. the task was to listen to target sentence and repeat back without attention to competing sentence. for the ddt, auditory stimuli were monosyllabic digits presented dichotically and the task was to repeat those. results : comparing mean score of cst and ddt between cva patients with right hemisphere impairment and normal participants showed statistically significant difference (p=0.001 for cst and p< 0.0001 for ddt). conclusion : the present study revealed that abnormal cst and ddt scores of participants with right hemisphere cva could be related to concurrent segregation difficulties. these findings suggest that low level segregation mechanisms and/or high level attention mechanisms might contribute to the problems.

Auditory temporal order perception in younger and older adults.

This investigation examined the abilities of younger and older listeners to discriminate and identify temporal order of sounds presented in tonal sequences. It was hypothesized that older listeners would exhibit greater difficulty than younger listeners on both temporal processing tasks, particularly for complex stimulus patterns. It was also anticipated that tone order discrimination would be ...

The Right Hemisphere in Esthetic Perception

Little about the neuropsychology of art perception and evaluation is known. Most neuropsychological approaches to art have focused on art production and have been anecdotal and qualitative. The field is in desperate need of quantitative methods if it is to advance. Here, we combine a quantitative approach to the assessment of art with modern voxel-lesion-symptom-mapping methods to determine bra...
