Parallels Between Auditory & Visual Processing

By Leonard J. Press, ODAs two of our major sensory processing systems, audition and vision subservice many similar functions. Human behavior and performance is guided and informed by these systems, making it beneficial if not essential to have a deeper understanding of the parallels between them. This monograph delves into numerous commonalities between these parallel processing systems, as well as some important differences. Emphasis is given to neuroanatomical and cognitive correlates of audition and vision, with special attention to developmental, educational, and rehabilitative-therapeutic applications.
