Auditory system

incorporating all all three learning domains (visual, auditory and kinesthetic) within the instruction period, and as a reinforcement tool during student’s practice/ on task time. Pre assessment results underline and further back this fact, based upon the fact that the skill was introduced only through visual cue giving. Auditory cues revealed to be most effective when accompanied as an aid with visual or kinesthetic cues. Even as a non auditory learner it is a reminder, a reference…

Discovering your personal learning style is the beginning step to a successful education. Once you uncover how you learn, you will find that you are able to learn much better. After taking the VARK questionnaire, I have discovered that I am a multimodal learner. According to the Oxford Dictionary (2016), multimodal is defined as being “characterized by several different modes of activity or occurrence”. In simpler terms, it means that my learning preferences include visual, aural,…

The auditory brainstem response (ABR) test is frequently used to measure hearing sensitivity and to evaluate the auditory system. The test involved a computer measuring the way a child’s hearing nerve responds to different sounds. Audiologists performed the ABR recordings during both the study and control group. The process involved electrodes being placed typically on a child’s forehead and in front or in back of the ears. The electrodes are connected to the computer, and earphones are placed…

about Cerebral Palsy (CP), I chose to dig deeper into the more modern diagnostic tools and treatments. As an aspiring Audiologist, I looked into tools I would one day use if I were on a case with an individual with CP and found an article about the Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) tool that is being used to determine hearing loss and likelihood of other related disabilities in tandem with CP. The study done showed significance in correlation with most other causes of CP and related disorders,…

a motor plan, whereas the phonological store is a short term acoustic memory. The idea is that these two compo- nents are tightly linked and work together during auditory imagery. Based on the neu- roimaging data we have seen so far, it’s tempting to speculate that the SMA could be involved with subvocalization, whereas secondary auditory cortical areas could be in- volved with the phonological…

The stress response systems are first to be compromised due to adverse experiences that assault the brain. Experiences of trauma and neglect create abnormal organization of important neural systems in the brainstem which compromises function and capacity of this region of the brain. At each level, the brain responds to perceived threat which implies that a…

vision. The setting seems peaceful which connects the viewer of being relaxed and drawn into it. The auditory cue used in this advertisement is a subtle rock-n-roll song which relates to the middle-aged man. Since this is all tied together and our perception makes sense of it, it reaches our expectation values (subconscious). The list of side effects that the voice stated, which is also an auditory cue, makes me continuously aware of the increases in health risks of anyone taking the…

Videos are usually used as a break from what a person is doing, and they just relax and having fun. Although, many scientists have said that video games are effective in school and is a new way of learning which the students benefits from. Many people think video games distract kids from learning, but that could not be further from the truth. Many scholars think that this new approach to learning helps students retain more information. Many students like it better than reading from a textbook…

The Case Study Scenario This scenario will revolve around Pete Parkson, a young 2nd grader that has transferred to Hope Primary Elementary School with his parent’s relocation to the area for personal reasons. Pete has Auditory Processing Disorder, or APD, and will need to have an IEP made for him. Luckily, his parents had managed to slide their move into the school semester and they have arrived in the middle of summer vacation to make the initial transition easier for Pete. The school staff,…

Autism Autism spectrum disorder refers to a broad spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by impairments in social interaction and communication that begin at a young age, which commonly exhibits repetitive behaviors and restricted interests (Xiao et al., 2014). This pervasive developmental disorder is more prevalent in males than in females and has recently gained more attention because of its rapid increase in prevalence (Xiao et al., 2014). Today, it is estimated that 69.5 per…
