Auditory integration training (AIT) aims to address the sensory problems such as hearing distortions and hyperacusis. Hyperacusis is better understood as oversensitive hearing. Both of which are said to cause discomfort and confusion in people with learning disabilities, including autism spectrum disorders. These hypersensitivities are believed ...
Sensory Integration Therapy is based on A. Jean Ayres's Sensory Integration Theory, which proposes that sensory-processing is linked to emotional regulation, learning, behavior, and participation in daily life. [2] Sensory integration is the process of organizing sensations from the body and environmental stimuli.
Auditory-verbal therapy is a method for teaching deaf children to listen and speak using hearing technology (e.g. hearing aids, auditory implants (such as cochlear implants) and assistive listening devices (ALDs) (such as radio aids)). Auditory-verbal therapy emphasizes listening and seeks to promote the development of the auditory brain to ...
Multisensory learning is the assumption that individuals learn better if they are taught using more than one sense (). [1] [2] [3] The senses usually employed in multisensory learning are visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile – VAKT (i.e. seeing, hearing, doing, and touching).
One study demonstrated that cross-modal visual and auditory integration is present from within 1 year of life. [101] This study measured response time for orientating towards a source. Infants who were 8–10 months old showed significantly decreased response times when the source was presented through both visual and auditory information ...
Neurally, the signs of interrupted or stopped speech can be suppressed in the thalamus and auditory cortex, possibly as a consequence of top-down processing by the auditory system. [2] Key aspects of the speech signal itself are considered to be resolved somewhere in the interface between auditory and language-specific areas (an example is ...
Tallal, Merzenich and their colleagues have successfully adapted auditory discrimination paradigms to address speech and language difficulties. [72] [73] They reported improvements in language learning-impaired children using specially enhanced and extended speech signals. The results applied not only to auditory discrimination performance but ...
The psychological basis for TRT is the hypothesis that the brain can change how it processes auditory stimuli. TRT is imputed to work by interfering with the neural activity causing the tinnitus at its source, in order to prevent it from spreading to other parts of the nervous systems such as the limbic and autonomic nervous systems.
