Abstract

Purpose

Adolescence is a period of transformation in humans with changes in the neural physiology at subcortical and cortical levels. However, its significance on auditory processing skills and working memory skills and their association is yet to be well understood. Hence, the current study was designed to evaluate and establish the association between auditory processing skills and working memory abilities in adolescents.

Method

A total of 125 adolescents within the age range of 10 to 15 years participated in the current study. All of them had normal hearing sensitivity and no associated obvious peripheral or central deficits. All the participants underwent auditory closure ability assessment using quick speech perception in noise test in Kannada, binaural integration ability assessment using dichotic CV test, and temporal processing assessment using gap detection test. Auditory working memory abilities were assessed using auditory digit span and digit sequencing.

Results

Spearman correlation was done to assess the correlation between auditory processing skills and working memory abilities. Results revealed a significant negative correlation between most of the central auditory processing abilities and all the working memory spans.

Conclusions

Findings of the current study indicate that individuals with poor working memory abilities have difficulty in auditory processing abilities.

IG-Nobelpreis 2024: Von analer Atmung und hemisphärischen Haarwirbeln

Der Ig-Nobelpreis feiert Forschung, die erst zum Lachen und dann zum Nachdenken einlädt. Arbeiten mit Medizinbezug konnten in diesem Jahr vier der zehn Preise abräumen. Dabei war von unauffindbaren Hundertjährigen bis zur enteralen Beatmung einiges geboten, was dem Leitgedanken des Preises gerecht wird.

Chronische Rhinosinusitis mit Polyposis nasi: Welches Biologikum zuerst?

Ein Vergleich der Wirksamkeit von vier monoklonalen Antikörpern bei chronischer Rhinosinusitis mit Nasenpolypen mittels Netzwerk-Metaanalyse hat einen klaren Sieger hervorgebracht.

Placebo in puncto Fiebersenkung nicht schlechter als Penicillin?

Eine aktuelle Schweizer Studie legt nahe: Werden Kinder bei Streptokokken-Pharyngitis anstelle von Amoxicillin mit Placebo behandelt, sind die Effekte auf Fieberdauer und Schmerzen gar nicht so viel kleiner. Allerdings lohnt ein Blick auf die Details.

So gefährlich sind verschluckte Knopfzellen

Kinder mit verschluckten Knopfzellen zeigen oft ausgeprägte Ösophagusverletzungen. Kritisch wird es vor allem, wenn die Batterien länger als sechs Stunden im Körper verbleiben. In solchen Fällen stirbt fast jedes zehnte Kind.
