This case presentation describes a patient with a strategically placed lesion involving the right insula and adjacent white matter. The most remarkable finding associated with this case is the presence of a unilateral auditory processing disorder when presenting speech materials to the left ear. Intervention for this patient is described in addition to a discussion of possible explanations for ...

background: the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties (validity and reliability) of the persian version of the sustained auditory attention capacity test in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. methods: the persian version of the sustained auditory attention capacity test was constructed to assess sustained auditory attention using the metho...

INTRODUCTION Auditory sensory processing dysfunction is a core component of schizophrenia, with deficits occurring at 50 ms post-stimulus firmly established in the literature. Given that the initial afference of primary auditory cortex occurs at least 35 ms earlier, however, an essential question remains: how early in sensory processing do such deficits arise, and do they occur during initial c...

Aim. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of auditory processing difficulties in children and examine possible relationships between skills school success. Method. In this study, a screening test Auditory disorder - (Croatian: PSP 1) was used elementary Croatia. Furthermore, correlations test, grade point average, subjective assessment scores for reading, writing, math were analyzed. A ...

Language processing from the cochlea to auditory association cortices shows side-dependent specificities with an apparent left hemispheric dominance. The aim of this article was to propose to nonspeech specialists a didactic review of two complementary theories about hemispheric asymmetry in speech processing. Starting from anatomico-physiological and clinical observations of auditory asymmetry...

Auditory agnosia refers to the defective recognition of auditory stimuli in the context of preserved hearing. There has been considerable interest in this topic for over a hundred years despite the apparent rarity of the disorder and potential diagnostic confusion with deafness or even Alzheimer's disease (Mendez and Rosenberg, 1991—see Case P593 below). Following Lissauer's (1890) distinction ...

OBJECTIVE This study examined the plasticity of the central auditory pathway and accompanying cognitive changes in children with learning problems. METHODS Children diagnosed with a learning disability and/or attention deficit disorder worked with commercial auditory processing training software for 8 weeks; control groups consisted of normal-learning and learning-impaired children who did no...

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a pervasive developmental disorder including abnormalities in perceptual processing. We measure perception in a battery of tests across speech (filtering, phoneme categorization, multisensory integration) and music (pitch memory, meter categorization, harmonic priming). We found that compared to controls, the ASD group showed poorer filtering, less audio-visual...

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...

PURPOSE To consider whether auditory processing disorder (APD) is truly a distinct clinical entity or whether auditory problems are more appropriately viewed as a processing deficit that may occur with various developmental disorders. METHOD Theoretical and clinical factors associated with APD are critically evaluated. RESULTS There are compelling theoretical and clinical reasons to questio...
