Riassunto

While the concept of auditory-specific perceptual disorder in children is more than 60 years old, finding the underlying mechanism, efficient diagnosis, and treatment are goals not yet reached. The disorder is elusive, since a child may test normal, but in real world acoustics is unable to successfully suppress background noise to select specific sources of sounds. In this updated second edition, Musiek and Chermak provide four new chapters and current findings vis-á-vis the disorder's neurobiology, electrophysiological measures, behavioral assessment, and effective treatment options. Twenty-three chapters are divided into six sections: auditory neuroscience; diagnostic fundamentals; evaluation of central auditory processes; differential diagnosis; case studies; and future directions. This volume is companion to Handbook of Central Auditory Processing Disorder; volume 2: Comprehensive Intervention, 2nd edition. Annotation ©2014 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
