auditory working memory span of children with (central) auditory processing disorders and normal children aged 8 to 10 years
Authors
abstract
background : the aim of the present study was to assess the auditory working memory span of children with (central) auditory processing disorders (c) apd aged 8 to 10 years and to compare the results with normal ones. methods: twenty five children with (central) auditory processing disorders (8-10 years) and 75 normal children (8-10 years) from both genders participated in this comparative study. participants were chosen by convenient sampling method to assess their auditory working memory (wm) span. forward digit span, backward digit span and non-word repetition tests were used to evaluate the wm span. nonparametric statistics (mann–whitney u) were used for comparing group differences. results: forward digit and backward digit and non-word repetition tests showed significant differences in mean scores between those with (c) apd and normal children (p˂0.001). conclusion: the results suggest that (c) apd children have poorer performance in the wm span than the age matched controls.

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...

background and aim: spatial hearing is one of the most important functions of binaural hearing processing that is based on detection of fine interaural time and interaural intensity difference. spatial hearing is beyond auditory localization and lateralization. it helps auditory scene analysis and target stream segregation from other simultaneous sound sources. this function is important in spe...
