“…From the first studies of Bocca et al (1954) using filtered speech to assess subjects with temporal lobe tumour, and those of Kimura (1961) using dichotic stimulation to assess subjects with cerebral lesions, to recent studies using electrophysiological measurements to assess AP (Moncrieff et al, 2004), this area has been of interest to audiologists. AP has been explored in many groups of subjects, such as in persons with Alzheimer's disease (Iliadou & Kaprinis, 2003;Strouse et al, 1995), presbycusis (Frisina & Frisina, 1997), dyslexia (Hugdahl et al, 1998;Sapir et al, 2002;Schulte-Korne et al, 1998), specific language impairment (Tallal et al, 1985), brainstem and cortical lesions (Baran et al, 2004;Musiek, 1983), organic solvent exposure (Varney et al, 1998), and epilepsy (Ortiz et al, 2002).…”
