Quantitative Assessment of Cortical Auditory-tactile Processing in Children with Disabilities
Published on: January 29, 2014
Abstract:
A 56-yr old woman developed a cortical auditory disorder after two successive strokes involving the temporal lobes. Dichotic listening tests did not show a left car advantage with right ear suppression, as shown in other cases with similar disorders. Tasks exploring phonological analysis showed an impairment limited to the stop consonants. Within this framework, processing of feature place was selectively disturbed, while voicing was normally analysed. The possible role of psychoacoustic deficits in the pathogenesis of cortical auditory disorders is discussed. Some general considerations on cortical auditory disorders are also made.

Higher Mental Functions of the Brain: Language
Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...
