In a previous study with normal-hearing listeners, we evaluated consonant identification masked by two or more spectrally contiguous bands of noise, with asynchronous square-wave modulation applied to neighboring bands. Speech recognition thresholds were 5.1-8.5 dB better when neighboring bands were presented to different ears (dichotic) than when all bands were presented to one ear (monaural),...

Introduction Auditory perception can be enhanced by musical training and practice. Considering the multiple brain areas involved in learning, good auditory perceptual skills contribute to phonological awareness, speech recognition presence of noise, reading, syllable recognition, other language skills. Material methods There were 30 adults between 18 27 years old who participated. They divided ...

Previous research has demonstrated that psychopaths exhibit abnormal language lateralization, and it has been proposed that psychopaths may be characterized by abnormal processing asymmetries in other domains as well [Hare, (1998). Psychopathy, affect, and behavior. In D. J. Cooke, A. E. Forth, & R. D. Hare (Eds.), Psychopathy: theory, research and implications for society (pp. 105–137). Nether...

Staggered Spondaic (bisyllabic equal stress) Word (SSW) is a dichotic test. The Dichotic listening tests is a behavioural test battery to assess the hemispheric function, inter-hemispheric transfer of information, and development and maturation of auditory nervous system. Staggered Spondaic Word (SSW) is more sensitive for brainstem and cortical lesion. The current investigation was aimed to de...

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...
