Auditory processing impairments negatively impact language learning, the ability to listen effectively in noisy environments, and the development of reading skills. Behavioral assessments of auditory processing provide valuable insight into auditory function but lack information about the biological health of the auditory pathway, and can be complicated by comorbid disorders, alertness, and mot...

INTRODUCTION Mismatch negativity, an electrophysiological measure, evaluates the brain's capacity to discriminate sounds, regardless of attentional and behavioral capacity. Thus, this auditory event-related potential is promising in the study of the neurophysiological basis underlying auditory processing. OBJECTIVE To investigate complex acoustic signals (speech) encoded in the auditory nervo...

ABSTRACT Purpose To develop an assessment script to observe hearing and central auditory processing in preschool children. Methods The was prepared based on a search the Scielo databases library of university state São Paulo using following keywords: “central processing”, “hearing language”, “auditory disorders”, children”, “vocabulary assessment”, resulting selection fourteen articles two book...

background and aim: auditory temporal resolution skill is calculated according to the minimum required time to analyze or integrate acoustic events. this skill, which is essential for speech perception, was evaluated by gap detection tests. the aim of this study was to determine the presence or absence of any differences between the right and left ear in the gap detection test. methods: after p...

background and aim: bilingualism is an important phenomenon with different effects on each aspect of language processing. auditory temporal processing is a major component of the auditory processing ability. since bilingual and monolingual individual’s brain process are different, and no studies have yet been conducted on the effect of temporal processing on speech recognition performance of az...

BACKGROUND: Difficulty in speech understanding in the presence of background noise or competing auditory signals is typically present in central auditory processing disorders. These disorders may be diagnosed in Alzheimer's disease as a result of degeneration in the central auditory system. In addition perception and processing of speech may be affected. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A MEDLINE research...
