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 ...

Brain lateralization for language in high-functioning children with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) and sensory processing were explored as a part of a neuropsychological profile. A dichotic listening test and the Luria laterality subtest were administered to all participants (including controls) and the sensory profile test only to the ASC group. The usual right ear advantage was not exhibite...

objectives: this study investigated the efficacy of working memory training for improving working memory capacity and related auditory stream segregation in auditory processing disorders children. methods: fifteen subjects (9-11 years), clinically diagnosed with auditory processing disorder participated in this non-randomized case-controlled trial. working memory abilities and auditory stream s...

Background and Aim: Aging is associated with reduced cognitive abilities including attention and memory. There is some evidence that shows randomized dichotic digits test (RDDT) has enough difficulty to show the ear asymmetry in dichotic listening. This study aimed to compare the effect of free and focused attention on dichotic listening ability of young and elderly listeners. Methods: The cros...

Whether and how working memory disrupts or alters auditory selective attention is unclear. We compared simultaneous event-related potentials (ERP) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) responses associated with task-irrelevant sounds across high and low working memory load in a dichotic-listening paradigm. Participants performed n-back tasks (1-back, 2-back) in one ear (Attend ear) w...

Purpose: To develop Brazilian Portuguese Dichotic Sentence List Test, check its applicability and propose an application protocol for auditory processing assessment. Methods: The lists of sentences were taken from the original material, analyzed in detailed and adapted to form the new test. To compose pairs of sentences with as much of the same duration as possible, the duration of each sentenc...

OBJECTIVE To verify the auditory selective attention in children with stroke. METHODS Dichotic tests of binaural separation (non-verbal and consonant-vowel) and binaural integration - digits and Staggered Spondaic Words Test (SSW) - were applied in 13 children (7 boys), from 7 to 16 years, with unilateral stroke confirmed by neurological examination and neuroimaging. RESULTS The attention p...

BACKGROUND speech comprehension difficulty is a very common complaint of individuals with tinnitus with and without hearing loss. This study was conducted in order to analyze if tinnitus interferes in auditory processing and speech comprehension in individuals with normal hearing levels. AIM to asses and compare the auditory behavior of temporal resolution and selective attention of adults wi...

Objectives: In this research study, the effect of training phonological awareness skills on the improvement of auditory memory in students with spelling problems in third grade at primary schools in Sari City, Iran, was investigated.  Methods: The research method used in the study was quasi-experimental with pre-tests, post-tests, and a control group. The statistical population consisted ...
