background: this study assessed the relationship between working memory capacity and auditory stream segregation by using the concurrent minimum audible angle in children with a diagnosed auditory processing disorder (apd). methods: the participants in this cross-sectional, comparative study were 20 typically developing children and 15 children with a diagnosed apd (age, 9–11 years) according t...

background and aim : auditory processing disorder (apd) weakens recognition and understanding auditory data and adversely affects children's language and learning if remains undetected and untreated. since early diagnosis of apd can obviate its adverse effects, screening is hugely important in identifying suspected cases. auditory processing domain questionnaire (apdq) is a reliable tool among ...

background and aim: the double dichotic digit test (ddt) is a simple test for assessing and screening auditory processing system. the purpose of this study was to develope a double ddt, in persian language and find its basic norm values in girls aged 7 to 11 years. methods: the persian version of double ddt is composed of 3 different 25 numerical lists. numbers in each list were recorded dichot...

introduction: hearing loss is one of the most common problems in elderly people. functional side effects of hearing loss are various. due to the fact that hearing loss is the common impairment in elderly people; the importance of its possible effects on auditory memory is undeniable. this study aims to focus on the hearing loss effects on auditory memory.   materials and methods: dichotic audit...

Purpose: To describe speech disorders in students from 1 to 4 grades, and to investigate possible associations between these disorders and stomatognathic system and auditory processing disorders. Methods: Cross-sectional study with stratified random sample composed of 288 students, calculated based on an universe of 1,189 children enrolled in public schools from the area covered by a health cen...

Background Children with pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), such as children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), often show auditory processing deficits related to their overarching language impairment. Auditory training programs such as Fast ForWord Language may potentially alleviate these deficits through training-induced improvements in auditory processing. Methods To assess the impa...

Auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) and behavioral tests were used to evaluate auditory processing in 10 children aged 7 to 11 years who were diagnosed as learning disabled (LD). AEPs included auditory brainstem responses (ABRs), middle latency responses (MLRs), and late cortical responses (P1, N1, P2, P3). Late cortical responses were recorded using an active listening oddball procedure. Auditor...

Functional neuroimaging of covert perceptual and cognitive processes can inform the diagnoses and prognoses of patients with disorders of consciousness, such as the vegetative and minimally conscious states (VS;MCS). Here we report an event-related potential (ERP) paradigm for detecting a hierarchy of auditory processes in a group of healthy individuals and patients with disorders of consciousn...
