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...

objective: the aim of the present research was to compare the auditory perception and verbal intelligibility in children with cochlear implant, hearing aids and normal hearing. methods: 60 children aged 5-7 years were divided to three groups and each group contained 20 children. the first and second groups were selected ordinarily from children with cochlear implant and hearing aids by convenie...

Enhanced behavioral performance mediated by multisensory stimuli has been shown using a variety of measures, including response times, orientation behavior and even simple stimulus detection. In the particular case of the study of saccadic response to unimodal or bimodal stimuli, Corneil et al. (2002) were able to show that the bimodal visual-auditory saccades benefited from the accuracy of vis...

Cochlear implant (CI) users show higher auditory-evoked activations in visual cortex and higher visual-evoked activation in auditory cortex compared to normal hearing (NH) controls, reflecting functional reorganization of both visual and auditory modalities. Visual-evoked activation in auditory cortex is a maladaptive functional reorganization whereas auditory-evoked activation in visual cortex...

OBJECTIVE To examine the associations between measures of auditory processing and measures of auditory or cognitive function in elderly listeners with impaired hearing. DESIGN Multiple measures of auditory processing, auditory function, and cognitive function were obtained and linear, multiple-regression analyses were conducted to examine the relations between these sets of variables. In part...

Background: auditory training program in students with learning disabilities. Aim: to verify the efficacy of an auditory training program in students with learning disabilities; to compare the results of students with and without learning disabilities, who were and were not submitted to the auditory training program, in pre and post-testing. Method: participants were 40 students who were divide...

In this paper, two different auditory feedback schemes related to graphical buttons are compared to each other and to a visualonly condition. The results show that aesthetically pleasing auditory design is clearly preferred among the users, and can lead to performance benefits over not only a design with no auditory enhancements, but also a design with aesthetically less pleasing auditory enhan...

The need to engage in multiple tasks simultaneously is often encountered in everyday experience, but coordinating between two or more tasks can lead to impaired performance. Typical investigations of multitasking impairments have focused on the performance of two tasks presented in close temporal proximity on discrete trials; however, such paradigms do not match well with the continuous perform...

Research on auditory graphs has investigated mappings, scalings, and polarities (Walker, 2002), as well as the addition of some contextual design features (Bonebright, Nees, Connerley, & McCain, 2001; Flowers, Buhman, & Turnage, 1997), in order to improve performance. However, little has been done to quantify the performance effects of such features, or to investigate effects of training in spe...
