Auditory Processing Deficits in Alzheimer’s Disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of the current study was to study auditory processing (monaural closure, monaural separation, binaural integration, and binaural separation) skills in subjects withand withoutAlzheimer’s disease. Ten individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and seven individuals without Alzheimer’s disease participated in central auditory processing tasks (degraded speech and dichotic speech). Reduced auditory processing skills were found for the Alzheimer’s group and a pronounced left ear deficit was found for this group (re: control group without Alzheimer’s disease). Results support models that postulate breakdown in information processing mechanisms in the central auditory nervous system in individuals with cognitive decline.

The location and motion of sounds in space are important cues for encoding the auditory world. Spatial processing is a core component of auditory scene analysis, a cognitively demanding function that is vulnerable in Alzheimer’s disease. Here we designed a novel neuropsychological battery based on a virtual space paradigm to assess auditory spatial processing in patient cohorts with clinically ...
متن کاملSelective deficits in human audition: evidence from lesion studies
The human auditory cortex is the gateway to the most powerful and complex communication systems and yet relatively little is known about its functional organization as compared to the visual system. Several lines of evidence, predominantly from recent studies, indicate that sound recognition and sound localization are processed in two at least partially independent networks. Evidence from human...

متن کاملComparing auditory sustained attention in children with auditory processing disorder and normal children
Introduction: Auditory processing disorder (APD) is a type of abnormal perceptual processing of auditory information within the central auditory nervous system that could be influenced by cognitive factors, such as attention. Attention is one of most important cognitive functions in the development of learning in children, so it is important to recognize and evaluate a variety of attention defi...
متن کاملThe effect of bottom-up and top-down auditory program training on the development of children's auditory processing skills
Although there have been several previous investigations on the role of auditory training for the development of auditory processing skills, it still remains unknown whether children with auditory processing difficulties can get improved auditory skills after exposure to a multi-modal training experience comprising both visual and tactile stimuli. The present study, therefore, attempted to use ...
