auditory blending/ auditory synthesis Explanation: Auditory processing Auditory dyslexia or dysphonetic dyslexia, on the other hand, is the used to describe a dyslexic with difficulties in auditory processing. Auditory processing refers the ability to make sense of information taken in through the ears. It is not the ability to hear, but the ability to interpret, organise, or analyse what’s heard. All the parts of the hearing pathway are working well, but parts of the brain are not. Problems with auditory perception generally correspond to those in the visual area and are presented under the following components: • Auditory foreground-background differentiation refers to the ability to select and attend to relevant auditory stimuli and ignore the irrelevant. • Auditory discrimination refers to the ability to hear similarities and differences between sounds. • Auditory blending (also called auditory synthesis) refers to the ability to perceive individual sounds as a whole. The child who has a deficit in auditory blending will be unable to blend the individual sounds in a word. He may know the individual phonemes but simply cannot put them together. He may, for example, sound the letters “c-a-t” but then say “cold.” http://www.edubloxsa.co.za/dyslexia-symptoms-causes-and-solu... |
