Developmental Pathology

The paper describes the results of a psychological research of specificities of psychological functions development among children with paroxysms depending on their age and the duration of a disease. Fifty-four children aged 6—8 years old and their parents participated in the study. Clinical biography and experimental-psychological methods were used in the study (methods of neuropsychological research of higher psychic functions among children, Tsvetkova, 2002)), a diagnostic complex (“Prognostic and prevention of learning difficulties in school; Yasukova, 2002). The results showed that an early development of paroxysms is coupled with difficulties in auditory perception, short term memory, visual linear thinking and motor functions difficulties. The prolongation of paroxysms in preschool year-old children is coupled with a developmental pathology of kinesthetic praxis, as well as language and thinking, linked to language. It is hypothesized that developmental difficulties in children with paroxysms are related to the specificities of their impairments, as well as the sensitive periods of psychological functions.

Components Of Reading

Visual and auditory components of short-term memory and perception were used as predictors of vocabulary and comprehension components of reading for 72 children from Grades 2 to 5 in a low socio-economic rural school. All six variables were significantly intercorrelated (with the exception of visual short-term memory and auditory perception). When canonical correlation analysis was applied using the four scores measuring short-term memory and perception as predictors of the two reading scores, one was significant, and each variable made a significant contribution. Not only are short-term memory and perception a part of learning to read but both visual and auditory channels are important.

The extent to which the contents of short-term memory are consciously accessible is a fundamental question of cognitive science. In audition, short-term memory is often studied via the mismatch negativity (MMN), a change-related component of the auditory evoked response that is elicited by violations of otherwise regular stimulus sequences. The prevailing functional view of the MMN is that it operates on preattentive and even preconscious stimulus representations. We directly examined the preconscious notion of the MMN using informational masking and magnetoencephalography. Spectrally isolated and otherwise suprathreshold auditory oddball sequences were occasionally random rendered inaudible by embedding them in random multitone masker “clouds.” Despite identical stimulation/task contexts and a clear representation of all stimuli in auditory cortex, MMN was only observed when the preceding regularity (that is, the standard stream) was consciously perceived. The results call into question the preconscious interpretation of MMN and raise the possibility that it might index partial awareness in the absence of overt behavior.

AbstractHow phantom perceptions arise and the factors that make individuals prone to such experiences are not well understood. An attractive phenomenon to study these questions is tinnitus, a very common auditory phantom perception which is not explained by hyperactivity in the auditory pathway alone. Our framework posits that a predisposition to developing (chronic) tinnitus is dependent on individual traits relating to the formation and utilization of sensory predictions. Predictions of auditory stimulus frequency (remote from tinnitus frequency) were studied using a paradigm parametrically modulating regularity (i.e. predictability) of tone sequences and applying decoding techniques on magnetoencephalographic (MEG) data. For processes likely linked to short-term memory, individuals with tinnitus showed an enhanced anticipatory prediction pattern associated with increasing sequence regularity. In contrast, individuals without tinnitus engaged the same processes following the onset of the to-be-decoded sound. We posit that this tendency to optimally anticipate static and changing auditory inputs may determine which individuals faced with persistent auditory pathway hyperactivity factor it into auditory predictions, and thus perceive it as tinnitus. While our study constitutes a first step relating vulnerability to tinnitus with predictive processing, longitudinal studies are needed to confirm the predisposition model of tinnitus development.
