Cortical auditory evoked potentials with different acoustic stimuli: Evidence of differences and similarities in coding in auditory processing disorders.

Objectives: The use of cortical auditory evoked potentials allows for the study of the processing of acoustic signals at the cortical level, an important step in the diagnostic evaluation process, and for the monitoring of the therapeutic process associated with auditory processing disorders (APD). The differences and similarities in the acoustic coding between different types of stimuli in the context of APD remain unknown to this date.

Methods: A total of 37 children aged between 7 and 11 years, with and without APDs (identified based on verbal and non-verbal tests), all with a suitable intelligence quotient with respect to their chronological age, were assessed.

Development of language and arithmetic skills: risk and protective factors. Comparative cross-sectional study.

Background: In a literate society, linguistic/arithmetic performance is highly valued. Based on defined risk factors, strategies for promotion of better performance can be developed.

Objective: To ascertain the risk and protective factors relating to development of language and arithmetic.
