This article examines four disorders of auditory processing that can result from selective brain damage (cortical deafness, pure word deafness, auditory agnosia and phonagnosia) in an effort to derive a plausible functional and neuroanatomical model of audition. The article begins by identifying three possible reasons why models of auditory processing have been slower to emerge than models of v...

PURPOSE To verify the effect of delayed auditory feedback on speech fluency of individuals who stutter with and without central auditory processing disorders. METHODS The participants were twenty individuals with stuttering from 7 to 17 years old and were divided into two groups: Stuttering Group with Auditory Processing Disorders (SGAPD): 10 individuals with central auditory processing disor...

Auditory processing disorders may have detrimental consequences on a child's life, if undiagnosed and untreated. We review causes of auditory processing disorders in order to raise clinical awareness. Auditory processing disorders may present against a background of neurological disease or developmental disorders, as well as in isolation. Clinicians need to be aware of potential causes and impl...

background: according to previous studies, most of the speech recognition disorders in older adults are the results of deficits in audibility and auditory temporal resolution. in this paper, the effect of ageing on timecompressed speech and auditory temporal resolution by word recognition in continuous and interrupted noise was studied. methods: a time-compressed speech test (tcst) was conducte...

The study assessed the auditory processing abilities and the cognitive skills in children with specific learning disability. It investigates the top-down or bottom-up influence on auditory processing. Using a test battery approach, the association between cognitive skills (verbal working memory and attention) and auditory processing abilities (auditory closure, binaural integration and temporal...
