Auditory temporal processes in the elderly
Several studies have reported age-related decline in auditory temporal resolution and in working memory. However, earlier studies did not provide evidence as to whether these declines reflect overall changes in the same mechanisms, or reflect age-related

Modality effects in implicit artificial grammar learning: An EEG study [PDF]
Recently, it has been proposed that sequence learning engages a combination of modality-specific operating networks and modality-independent computational principles.

Spatiotemporal Analysis of Auditory "What" and "Where" Working Memory [PDF]
Goal-directed attention to sound identity (what) and sound location (where) has been associated with increased neural activity in ventral and dorsal brain regions, respectively. In order to ascertain when such segregation occurs, we measured event-related potentials during an n-back (n = 1, 2) working memory task for sound identity or location, where ...

Hemispheric specialization in selective attention and short-term memory: a fine-coarse model of left- and right-ear disadvantages. [PDF]
Serial short-term memory is impaired by irrelevant sound, particularly when the sound changes acoustically. This acoustic effect is larger when the sound is presented to the left compared to the right ear (a left-ear disadvantage).

Human working memory is supported by a broadly distributed set of brain networks. Content-specific networks communicate with a domain-general, supramodal network that is recruited regardless of the type of content. Here, we contrasted visual and auditory

The Acoustic Dimension of Reading: Does Musical Aptitude Affect Silent Reading Fluency?
Fluent reading in a foreign language includes a complex coordination process of visual and auditory nature as the reading brain transforms written symbols into speaking auditory patterns through subvocalization (inner voice).

Auditory Processing Performance of the Middle-Aged and Elderly: Auditory or Cognitive Decline? [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Despite the well-established relationship between aging and auditory processing decline, identifying the extent to which age effect is the main factor on auditory processing performance remains a great challenge due to the co-occurrence of ...

Comparison of Wechsler Memory Scale–Fourth Edition (WMS–IV) and Third Edition (WMS–III) dimensional structures: Improved ability to evaluate auditory and visual constructs [PDF]
Dimensional structures underlying the Wechsler Memory Scale–Fourth Edition (WMS–IV) and Wechsler Memory Scale–Third Edition (WMS–III) were compared to determine whether the revised measure has a more coherent and clinically relevant factor structure ...

Working memory for time intervals in auditory rhythmic sequences [PDF]
The brain can hold information about multiple objects in working memory. It is not known, however, whether intervals of time can be stored in memory as distinct items. Here, we developed a novel paradigm to examine temporal memory where listeners were required to reproduce the duration of a single probed interval from a sequence of intervals.
