The present study proposes a long-term training program to improve syntax processing in children with cochlear implants, a population showing syntax processing deficits in perception and production.
Perception is the window through which we understand all information about our environment, and therefore deficits in perception due to disease, injury, stroke or aging can have significant negative impacts on individuals' lives.
Deficits in perception appear to be related to attentional factors, rather than being purely sensory, because problems are often context dependent.
If individuals with ASC have specific deficits in perception of biological motion perception, possibly an underlying cause of their social deficits, then we could find higher thresholds in the BM condition but not in the others.
Aspects of age-related decline in higher cognitive functions such as WM may be related to deficits in perception [17], [18], although impairment has been shown to exist independent of perceptual differences [19].
Two patients had deficits in perception, but all 4 had deficits in working memory, for as little as 2-s delay.
Schizophrenia is a severely debilitating mental disorder that is characterized by different neurodevelopmental and behavioral abnormalities, with deficits in perception, emotion processing and social functioning [ 1, 2].
Specific deficits in perception and process of short acoustical elements and their order of occurrence have been associated in literature with impairments in language, reading, writing, and phonological processing [ 53].
A deficit in simultaneous perception should affect perception of multiple visual items regardless of stimulus category, whereas perception of single stimuli may be left intact.
These authors suggested that the reason for inferior speech perception was not so much a deficit in the perception of sounds but rather a result of less well-established phonemic categories, preventing them from subsuming allophones under the same phonemic category.
