The subject of this study was a 46-year-old female who had suffered a cerebrovascular accident (CVA). Magnetic resonance imaging revealed damage in the area of the distribution of the middle cerebral artery involving most, if not all, of the primary auditory area of the left hemisphere. No auditory problems were noted prior to the CVA; however, following the CVA, the subject reported a number o...

objectives: the aim of this research is designing a computerized program, in game format, for working memory training in mild intellectual disabled children. methods: 24 students participated as test and control groups. the auditory and visual-spatial wm were assessed by primary test, which included computerized wechsler numerical forward and backward sub- tests, and secondary tests, which cont...

Four patients who preferred monaural as compared with binaural amplification were evaluated. For these patients, audiometric data, recognition performance on a dichotic digit task, and monaural and binaural hearing aid performance using four amplification strategies (National Acoustic Laboratories-Revised, a speech in noise algorithm, multiple-microphone arrays, and frequency modulated [FM]) ar...

UNLABELLED Auditory processing disorder is a clinical entity that may be associated with several neuropathological disorders - learning disabilities among them. AIM To characterize and compare the performance of students with and without learning disabilities in speech tests with and without background noise, dichotic listening tests, alternating dissyllable test. MATERIALS AND METHODS 40 s...

Unilateral temporal lobe ablations have become a common treatment procedure for intractable epilepsy. Five children, ranging in age from 11 to 16 years, received a battery of tests to evaluate possible postoperative changes in central auditory processing functions. Children were tested before surgery and at 1 year following surgery. Tests included the SCAN test for central auditory processing, ...

The term 'central auditory processing disorder' (CAPD; in German-speaking countries: 'auditive Verarbeitungs- und Wahrnehmungsstörung', AVWS) embraces various complex disorders of central auditory function. The purpose of this preliminary study was to develop a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) test set in order to extend the diagnostic work-up to include imaging, and thus to improve...

PURPOSE The authors assessed comorbidity of auditory processing disorder (APD), language impairment (LI), and reading disorder (RD) in school-age children. METHOD Children (N = 68) with suspected APD and nonverbal IQ standard scores of 80 or more were assessed using auditory, language, reading, attention, and memory measures. Auditory processing tests included the Frequency Pattern Test (FPT;...

objectives: all subjects suspected of central auditory processing disorder (capd) were previously tested by free recall dichotic digits test (ddt). the study objective was normalization and reliability evaluation of two-pair ddt in 750 native persian subjects aged 8 to 12 years. materials: a total of 750 subjects were divided into five age groups varying between 8 years and 12 years and 11 mont...
