Speech processing deficits are hard to diagnose in mild cases

Evidence

The awareness of this issue is essential for avoiding such consequences, however the diagnosis can be problematic, especially in the less severe cases. Certainly, methodologies for studying this articulated hierarchical system have the potential to drive the understanding of new insights into its mechanisms and to serve as an instrument of diagnosis for neural disorders related to speech. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4428
