To consider the definition of auditory processing disorder (APD). Narrative review and opinion piece. Considerations of definition drawn primarily from the fields of philosophy, audition, learning and language. The problem of defining APD appears genuine. Current and previous definitions of APD are nominal in nature, being both stipulative (offering explicit and arbitrary adoptions of meaning relation between words) and operational (creating rules that stipulate how the terms might apply to particular cases). Such definitions survive by consensus and perceived heuristic value in a manner that fails to achieve closure as arguments about their validity remain relative. A conceptual model of APD terminology is needed that considers nominal, conceptual and real definitions as well as different purposes for defining APD within professional and public domains. A framework for such a conceptual model of APD terminology is offered.
考虑听觉处理障碍 (APD) 的定义。叙述性评论和观点文章。定义的考虑主要来自哲学、听觉、学习和语言领域。定义 APD 的问题似乎是真实存在的。当前和以前的 APD 定义在本质上是名义上的，既是规定性的（在词与词之间的意义关系上提供明确和任意的采用），又是操作性的（制定规则，规定这些术语如何适用于特定情况）。这些定义通过共识和在某种程度上的启发式价值得以幸存，因为关于它们有效性的争论仍然是相对的，无法达成结论。需要一个 APD 术语的概念模型，该模型考虑名义、概念和实际定义，以及在专业和公共领域中定义 APD 的不同目的。为此提供了一个 APD 术语的概念模型框架。
