RESEARCH PROPOSAL

Dichotic Listening Paradigm using ALLR:
An Exploratory study

INTRODUCTION
There are many different methods to study brain asymmetry such as Wada test, tachistoscopic test and brain imaging. Dichotic listening is one among them. The concept ‘dichotic’ listening was introduced by Trimble (1931), the classic Dichotic Listening (DL) test was proposed by Broadbent (1954) and later linked to hemisphere-specific functions by Kimura (1961).This test is a simple, behavioural, non-invasive procedure which indicates overall hemispheric dominance effects (Ahonniska, Cantell, Tolvanen, & Lyytinen, 1993; Kimura, 1961) The use of DL has been widely accepted to infer brain asymmetry, since it is sensitive to hemisphere differences …show more content…

This study is a prospective observational study were 8 participants with their age ranging from 19 – 24 were recruited. A duly calibrated (ANSI S3.43-1996) double channel diagnostic audiometer (Madsen Astera) coupled with TDH-50P earphones were used to obtain air conduction thresholds, bone conduction thresholds were obtained using Radio ear B-71 bone vibrator. A calibrated (ANSI 3-39-1987) immittance meter (GSI Tympstar) were used to assess the middle ear status of the client prior to the actual study. Brainstem response and CEAPs will be recorded using Compumedic’s NeuroscanSystemsTM (32channels) (Neuroscan 4.5). Stimulus recording and presentation would be done using STIMTM software.
Dichotic syllables (/pa/ – voiceless, bilabial, stop, /ta/ - voiceless, alveolar, stop) were used as stimulus for obtaining CEAP’s..Stimulus was presented using ‘SOUND’ module of Stim 2 software. Stimulus was presented through insert ear phone with the intensity of 70dBSPL . ‘Acquire’ module of NeuroScan system with SynAmps2 amplifier was used to record CEAPs.All the measurements were carried out in an acoustically treated room with permissible noise levels as recommended by ANSI

1285 Words | 6 Pages

Assessment Because the diagnostic criteria for CAS is not firmly established the challenge in diagnosis and assessment becomes differentiating CAS from other speech sound disorders such as speech delay and dysarthria and specific language impairment (SLI) (Lewis et al., 2004). Many other speech sound disorders show similar signs as those in children with CAS (McCabe, Rosenthal, & McLeod, 1998).

Max Caldheart Cognitive Theory Essay

Mather’s paper encompasses four distinct arguments contradicting Calheart’s discussion. Contrary to Calheart who believes brain activity does not indicate cognitive operation performance, the first argument offers insight about location of brain activity and correlation with cognitive processes taking place. Mather et al. argues that the fusiform face area of the brain responds selectively to specific categories. I believe Calheart would indicate that just because brain activity takes place in the fusiform face area of the brain, it by no means indicates that no other processes within the brain are taking place—it is not an all or non

Reflection Paper Of Active Listening

1080 Words | 5 Pages

Reflection on the 5-Days Journey to Become a Better Listener Throughout the 5-days practice of active listening and basic attending skills in daily conversations, it was easiest for me to practice empathy. I found it easy to perceive the situation through others’ eyes and perspectives in order to capture the accurate meaning when I was nonjudgemental and listened attentively to others. As a result, I was able to develop empathic rapport in which I accurately sensed and understood others’ concerns as well as feelings as compared to when I conversed without empathy, allowing my presumptions to affect my interpretation of others’ meaning due to the need for others to agree with my worldview. Besides that, I was able to practice basic empathy, which is the second level of empathy where I paraphrased
