Temporal-order judgements in the time range of some milliseconds were assessed by using two auditory tasks 86 participants, aged from 20 to 69 years. Two stimulus presentation modes, binaural versus monaural, compared. Elderly participants performed worse than younger participants; however, different patterns age-related declines observed, depending on mode. In monaural mode considerable deterioration was observed beyond 60 years age, whereas found much earlier, 40 age. Performance task...

The close relationship between temporal perception and speech processing is well established. present study focused on the specific question whether environment could influence order in subjects whose language backgrounds are distinctively different, i.e., Chinese (tonal language) vs. Polish (non-tonal language). Temporal thresholds were measured for both monaurally presented clicks binaurally tone pairs. Whereas click experiment showed similar two groups, with pairs resulted different...

Background: Recovery of post-stroke deficits can be achieved by modulating neuroplasticity with non-invasive brain stimulation. To evaluate potential effects repetitive transorbital alternating current stimulation (rtACS) on stroke recovery we car

Temporal processing and inhibitory control are closely interconnected. This study investigated whether individuals of high low temporal efficiency display different behavioral neural patterns while performing an electrophysiological Go/No-Go task. Individuals with lower had significantly poorer performance the task-slower reaction times to Go stimuli, greater number omissions, stimulus detectability (lower d-prime value)-than group. Additionally, participants P300 response correct...

Abstract Background Temporal information processing (TIP) underlies many aspects of cognitive functions like language, motor control, learning, memory, attention, etc. Millisecond timing may be assessed by sequencing abilities, e.g. the perception event order. It measured with auditory temporal‐order‐threshold (TOT), i.e. a minimum time gap separating two successive stimuli necessary for subject to report their temporal order correctly, thus relation ‘before–after’. Neuropsychological...

Working memory (WM) is a limited-capacity cognitive system which allows the storage and use of limited amount information for short period time. Two WM processes can be distinguished: maintenance (i.e., storing, monitoring, matching information) manipulation reordering updating information). A number studies have reported an age-related decline in WM, but mechanisms underlying this deterioration need to investigated. Previous research, including conducted our laboratory, revealed that...

Purposes: The study sets the stage for temporal information processing as a fundamental basis of human cognition and novel neurorehabilitation method. We focus on auditory perception order address following questions: (1) do subjects' age, gender, hearing status cognitive functioning influence ordering abilities; (2) are there any differences between Polish German subjects these abilities? Methods: 86 82 aged from 20 to 69 years were classified into 5 age groups. Subjects identified two 1-ms...

Experimental studies have reported a close association between temporal information processing (TIP) and language comprehension. Brain-injured subjects with aphasia show disturbed TIP which was evidenced in elevated order threshold (TOT) as compared to control subjects. The present study is aimed at improving auditory speech comprehension aphasic using specific treatment. Fourteen patients having deficits both were tested. Token Test, phoneme discrimination tests Voice-Onset-Time Test...

The present study investigates age-related changes in duration discrimination millisecond time domain. We tested young (N = 20, mean age 24.5, SD 2.97) and elderly 65.2, 2.94) subjects using the Mismatch Negativity (MMN) paradigm. White-noise bursts of two different durations (50 ms 10 ms) were presented 2 oddball blocks. In one block (Increment Condition), repetitive sequence standards was interspersed by occasional 50 deviants. Decrement Condition, roles stimuli reversed. analyzed P1-N1...

Many studies revealed a link between temporal information processing (TIP) in millisecond range and speech perception. Previous indicated dysfunction TIP accompanied by deficient phonemic hearing children with specific language impairment (SLI). In this study we concentrate SLI on phonetic identification, using the voice-onset-time (VOT) phenomenon which is built-in. VOT crucial for perception, as stop consonants (like /t/ vs. /d/) may be distinguished an acoustic difference time onsets of...

The Temporal-Order Judgement (TOJ) paradigm has been widely investigated in previous studies as an accurate measure of temporal resolution and sequencing abilities the millisecond time range. Two auditory TOJ tasks are often used: (1) a spatial task, which two identical stimuli presented rapid succession monaurally task is to indicate ear received first stimulus second one (left-right or right-left), (2) spectral tones different frequencies asynchronously both ears binaurally report sequence...

It has been shown recently that temporal order perception is modulated by language environments. The present study focused on the specific question whether a secondary experience influences comparing thresholds (TOTs) between Chinese subjects with and without non-tonal (i.e., English) experience. Besides monaurally presented paired clicks, binaurally two different types of tone pairs were used in to better capture potential difference tonal languages. results showed non-significant effect...

People with aphasia (PWA) often present deficits in non-linguistic cognitive functions, such as executive working memory, and temporal information processing (TIP), which intensify the associated speech difficulties hinder rehabilitation process. Therefore, training targeting function deficiencies may be useful treatment of aphasia. The study compared effects novel Dr. Neuronowski® method (experimental training), particularly emphasizes TIP, linguistic commonly applied clinical practice...

A number of evidence revealed a link between temporal information processing (TIP) and language. Both literature data results our studies indicated an overlapping deficient TIP disordered language, pointing to the existence association these two functions. On this background new approach is apply such knowledge in therapy patients suffering from language disorders. In we asked following questions: (1) can training reduce deficits aphasic (Study 1) or children with specific impairment (SLI,...

Aphasia is an acquired impairment of language functions resulting from a brain lesion. It usually accompanied by deficits in non-linguistic cognitive processes. This study aimed to investigate patients with aphasia the complex interrelationships between selected functions: auditory speech comprehension, working memory (WM), and temporal information processing (TIP) millisecond time range.
