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: Chess is a game that involves many aspects of high level cognition such as memory, attention, focus and problem solving. Long term practice of chess can improve cognition performances and behavioral skills. Auditory memory, as a kind of memory, can be influenced by strengthening processes following long term chess playing like other behavioral skills because of common processing pat...

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 strea...

background: this study assessed the relationship between working memory capacity and auditory stream segregation by using the concurrent minimum audible angle in children with a diagnosed auditory processing disorder (apd). methods: the participants in this cross-sectional, comparative study were 20 typically developing children and 15 children with a diagnosed apd (age, 9–11 years) according t...

introduction: hearing loss is one of the most common problems in elderly people. functional side effects of hearing loss are various. due to the fact that hearing loss is the common impairment in elderly people; the importance of its possible effects on auditory memory is undeniable. this study aims to focus on the hearing loss effects on auditory memory.   materials and methods: dichotic audit...

background and aim: although recent research has revealed the positive effects of bilin­gualism on children's cognitive abilities, little information is available on the relationship bet­ween bilingualism and working memory. working memory is generally composed of four dis­tinct parts, among which the phonological loop plays an important role in speech and language development, reading skills, ...

background and aim: research shows that 13-18 percent of the people suffer from tinnitus, almost 5 percent of which, have chronic or bothersome tinnitus. chronic tinnitus may be accompanied by anxiety, depression, insomnia, and impairment in cognitive functions such as memory and attention. the purpose of this study was to compare the verbal auditory memory and divided attention between individ...

objective: children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd) do not process most information due to inattention and loss of the opportunity to save and retrieve information. therefore, these children experience memory impairment. although visual memory has been previously studied in children with adhd, iconic memory in these children has been less evaluated. we aimed to study the po...
