Synopsis
Reviewing auditory development in both human and nonhuman species, Werner and Marean reveal what is and is not known about human auditory development from infancy through early and late adulthood. Both advanced undergraduates and graduates in psychology and speech and hearing sciences will find this book useful. }In the last fifteen years, the development of human hearing has been explored extensively, using electrophysiological, psychophysical, and anatomical methods. Werner and Marean survey this work, revealing what is and is not known about hearing changes during infancy and childhood and discussing the mechanisms that account for age-related change in several domains of auditory processing. Werner and Marean also place human auditory development in the broader context of vertebrate auditory development. They provide an accessible review of nonhuman auditory development and suggest a common developmental time frame for humans and nonhumans. Richly illustrated with numerous cross-sectional diagrams, electron micrographs, tables, and charts, the book contains a comprehensive yet succinct overview of hearing development. Offering research results from both psychology and audiology, this book will be useful to advanced undergraduates and graduates in departments of psychology and speech and hearing sciences. }

From the Back Cover
Human Auditory Development deals with what is currently known about the development of hearing and the auditory system in humans. This volume provides an important contemporary reference on hearing development and leads to new ways of thinking about hearing in children and about remediation for children with hearing loss. Much of the material in this volume documents that a different model of hearing is needed to understand hearing during development.
