Neuroscience research on auditory processing pathways and their behavioral and electrophysiological correlates has taken place largely outside the field of clinical neuropsychology. Deviations and disruptions in auditory pathways in children and adolescents result in a well-documented range of developmental and learning impairments frequently referred for neuropsychological evaluation. This review is an introduction to research from the last decade. It describes auditory cortical and subcortical pathways and processes and relates recent research to specific conditions and questions neuropsychologists commonly encounter. Auditory processing disorders' comorbidity with ADHD and language-based disorders and research addressing the challenges of assessment and differential diagnosis are discussed.
神经科学对听觉处理通路及其行为和电生理相关性的研究主要在临床神经心理学领域之外进行。儿童和青少年听觉通路的偏差和中断会导致一系列有充分记录的发育和学习障碍,这些障碍经常需要进行神经心理学评估。这篇综述介绍了过去十年的研究。它描述了听觉皮质和皮质下通路和过程,并将最近的研究与神经心理学家常见遇到的特定情况和问题联系起来。本文还讨论了听觉处理障碍与 ADHD 和基于语言的障碍的共病,并探讨了评估和鉴别诊断所面临的挑战的研究。
