| How can agenesis of the corpus callosum be detected by AP testing? |
|
Definition
| Large if not complete left ear disadvantage on dichotic tasks. Monaural low redundancy speech and auditory discrimination would be unaffected |
|
|
Term
| Auditory signal processing: |
|
Definition
| Sound excites a neural response, which is categorized and organized by its characteristics, such as intensity, duration and temporal aspects. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The auditory signal is transmitted to the language center of the brain, where meaning can be assigned. |
|
|
Term
| Why might an 8 year old perform well on monaural tasks but not on binaural tasks. |
|
Definition
| The corpus callosum is the last part of the auditory system to mature. |
|
|
Term
| How can language serve audition? |
|
Definition
| By way of "top down" processing. Includes previous experience, knowledge of language rules, the topic being addressed and organizational cues. |
|
|
Term
| Why do some children not present with auditory learning problems until they enter school |
|
Definition
| Before school entry, children do not spend much time attempting to learn in challenging acoustic environments |
|
|
Term
| Why can APD and ADHD exist? |
|
Definition
| They are two separate entities. |
|
|
Term
| Why must a hx of OM be considered in the assessment of APD? |
|
Definition
| Known risk factor. Ages 1 - 3 years are a critical time for development of the auditory pathways |
|
|
Term
| With regard to APD test design, why is it important to consider redundancy of language? |
|
Definition
| If test items have too much redundancy, the task may not tax the system much at all. APD tests must challenge the auditory system |
|
|
Term
Intrinsic and extrinsic redundancy are not related
