What Current Research [for APD] is Being Conducted?
In recent years, scientists have developed new ways to study the human brain through imaging. Imaging is a powerful tool that allows the monitoring of brain activity without any surgery. Imaging studies are already giving scientists new insights into auditory processing.

Why Visual Distractibility Often Accompanies Auditory Processing Impairment
We often see parents shaking their heads - how is it that it's both auditory and visual processing? But it's not some odd luck, the visual and auditory systems are tightly coupled, and each makes up for the other when some problem arises.

Seeing While Hearing Speeds Brain's Processing of Speech
The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, combines neuroscience and linguistics to confirm for the first time that seeing the speaker talk -- called visual speech -- helps the brain process the words they are saying -- the auditory speech -- faster than if the words are heard only.

Musical training helps language processing, studies show
In what will be music to the ears of arts advocates, researchers for the first time have shown that mastering a musical instrument improves the way the human brain processes parts of spoken language. The findings could bolster efforts to make music as much a part of elementary school education as reading and mathematics.

Auditory Processing and Hemispheric Specialization
When I ask a classroom full of young undergraduates, what things one side of the brain “does” versus the other side, frequently the first answer is that language lives on the left side of the brain. Now, we all know that language doesn’t really “live” on the left side of the brain (although it may have a second mortgage) but it does seem to primarily be processed on the left.

Brain Plasticity: What Is It?
What is brain plasticity? Does it mean that our brains are made of plastic? Of course not. Plasticity, or neuroplasticity, is the lifelong ability of the brain to reorganize neural pathways based on new experiences. As we learn, we acquire new knowledge and skills through instruction or experience.
