To examine the claim that phonetic coding plays a special role in temporal order recall, deaf and hearing college students were tested on their recall of temporal and spatial order information at two delay intervals. The deaf subjects were all native signers of American Sign Language. The results indicated that both the deaf and hearing subjects used phonetic coding in short-term temporal recal...

Abstract Background Cerebral dominance refers to the biological description of brain, where one cerebral hemisphere is dominant over other in certain functions. There scanty literature on and its impact auditory spatial processing working memory, which explored study. Methods A total 45 participants with normal hearing were divided into three groups 15 participants. The categorized based scores...

One of the primary functions of the auditory system is to facilitate spatial hearing. Normal binaural hearing allows listeners to exploit acoustic cues provided by interaural disparities in time and level to identify the location of important sound sources in three-dimensional acoustic space and to enhance speech perception in the presence of competing speech or noise. Psychophysical studies ha...

In auditory scenes containing many similar sound sources, difficulties with the detection and organization of acoustic information can lead to disruptions in the identification of behaviorally relevant targets. A previous study conducted in young normal-hearing listeners (Best et al., 2007) investigated the benefit of providing simple visual cues for when and/or where a target string of spoken ...
