In this review paper, the prevalence and characteristics of central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) are reviewed. The causes, pathology and diagnosis of CAPD are also discussed. Recommendations are made for classroom interventions and a case study is presented. CAPDs are complex, heterogeneous disorders involving the process of auditory stimuli within the mechanisms of the central nervous s...

The purpose of this study was to determine the middle latency response (MLR) characteristics (latency and amplitude) in children with (central) auditory processing disorder [(C)APD], categorized as such by their performance on the central auditory test battery, and the effects of these characteristics after auditory training. Thirty children with (C)APD, 8 to 14 years of age, were tested using ...

Introduction: The main problems of children with learning disorder are in cognition and their sensations. The present study aimed to investigate the comparison of active memory and sensory processing styles in boys and girls with writing learning disorder. Methods: The methodology of this descriptive study was the Control-case study type. The statistical population of this study was all girls ...

This chapter considers specific deficits in auditory processing ('negative' disorders) due to neurological conditions and 'positive' disorders of central auditory processing caused by abnormal activity in central auditory mechanisms. Recent work focuses on the assessment of auditory processing in disorders that are not specifically auditory. In this case, auditory measurement may provide a 'win...
