Dichotic listening in patients with splenial and nonsplenial callosal lesions
The authors found splenial lesions to be associated with left ear suppression in dichotic listening of consonant-vowel syllables.
This was found in both a rapid presentation dichotic monitoring task and a standard dichotic listening task, ruling out attentional limitations in the processing of high stimulus loads as a confounding factor.

The dichotic listening method is presented from a historical perspective, followed by an outline of the empirical procedure used in our laboratory.
A major argument in the present paper is that the dichotic listening technique is a method to study the interaction between bottom-up, or stimulus-driven, versus top-down, or instruction-driven laterality.
Dichotic listening literally mean presenting two auditory stimuli simultaneously, and the standard experiment requires that the subject report after each trial which of the two stimuli he/she perceived best.

They must listen carefully to one of the voices and repeat each word that it says as the words are spoken, a task called shadowing.
Broadbent, a researcher who performed some of the first dichotic listening experiments, theorized that our mind can be conceived as a radio receiving many channels at once.
So, you can listen to the friend channel for a few seconds, and then you can switch to the Oprah channel and retrieve her last few words from sensory store.

 Cerebral Specialization and Lateralization Down Syndrome Abstracts
In the present study, a recent adaptation of the dichotic listening procedure was employed to examine interhemispheric integration during the performance of a lateralized verbal-motor task.
Based on a comparison of the laterality indices obtained from both dichotic listening procedures, it appears that the manifestation of lateral ear advantages in persons DS may dependent on the response requirements of the task.
Although dichotic listening studies seem to indicate that individuals with Down syndrome are more likely than those without Down syndrome to display a left ear/right hemisphere advantage for speech sounds, evidence from other experimental paradigms makes a simple model of reversed cerebral specialization for individuals with Down syndrome untenable.

They are the stick (S) task, the dichotic listening task (DLT), the S and DLT simultaneously, the S and rudder task (SR), the SRDLT, the SR and throttle task (SRT), a horizontal tracking task (HT), and absolute difference task (AD), and the MANIKIN test.
DLT is purely a dichotic listening task and SDLT and SRDLT are multi-tasks that contain components of dichotic listening as well.
The tracking and the dichotic listening tasks are similar to the real world environment of the aviator and do not seem to have common factors in association with the paper-and pencil ASTB.

 PSP 2005
One of the main advantages of using a dichotic listening task to investigate hemispheric lateralisation to auditory stimuli is that since there is ipsilateral suppression of the auditory pathways (Bryden, 1988), any lateralised response is more pronounced.
Dichotic listening tasks using speech sounds have often shown a right-ear advantage, indicating left-hemisphere dominance (Schwartz and Tallal, 1980).
The aim of this study was to investigate the extent of left and right hemisphere contribution to MMN strength, for both meaningful words and meaningless pseudowords, using a dichotic presentation.

All children demonstrated greater activation during dichotic listening than during any other listening task with preferential activation in the transverse temporal gyrus of the right hemisphere and the superior temporal gyrus of the left hemisphere.
Listeners were 14 7-9-month-olds and 19 young adults, healthy and without risk factors for hearing loss, tested using an observer-based behavioral procedure.
Listening problems were operationally defined as (1) parental concern about listening abilities and (2) poor performance on at least one of five behavioral measures conventionally used to evaluate aspects of auditory processing.

In the present investigation, the dichotic word listening performance of a sample of 25 dysphoric neuropsychiatric patients who endorsed multiple partial seizure-like symptoms was compared with that of matched samples of normal controls and patients with mood disorders who did not endorse multiple seizure-like symptoms.
Eighty percent of the patients who endorsed multiple episodic phenomena failed the dichotic listening task, compared with 8% of normal controls and 28% of patients with typical mood disorders.
Because it is sensitive to this type of presumed cerebral dysfunction and relatively specific, impaired dichotic listening performance is likely to be a useful clinical marker for this complex neuropsychiatric syndrome.

Her systematic work using the dichotic listening method gave scientific reason to believe in a vague idea that the left hemisphere is more efficient for tasks involving analysis, such as speech, and the right hemisphere is more efficient for tasks more heuristic, such as music listening.
The listener hears the 320 ms stimulus and then 500 ms later binaurally hears a single second tone 320 ms in duration initially at the center frequency.

The last two, Competing Words and Competing Sentences, are dichotic listening tests in which different words or sentences are presented simultaneously, one to each ear.
As a directed listening task the child is instructed to repeat both words, repeating the word heard in the right ear first.
The Competing Sentences subtest also consists of a directed ear listening task, but in this case the child is instructed to direct attention to the stimuli presented in one ear, while ignoring stimuli presented to the other ear.

When the source of a tone moves with respect to a listeners ears, dichotic (or interaural) phase and amplitude modulations (PM and AM) are produced.
Dichotic PM discrimination thresholds were similar to detection thresholds.
Sensitivity to dichotic AM and PM, and diotic AM increased as duration was increased from 20 ms to 200 ms.

 BruDer - MoinMap   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
In dichotic tests, paired stimuli (two different words or two different tones) are simultaneously presented to the two ears, and the difference in perceiving the stimulus in the right and left ear provides an index of perceptual asymmetry.
The present study was designed to overcome these limitations by assessing dichotic listening measures of lateralized cognitive processing in groups of patients with social phobia alone, with a depressive disorder alone, or with comorbidity of social phobia and a depressive disorder.
A factorial design with two grouping factors was used to contrast the dichotic listening performance of subjects with versus without social phobia as one factor and subjects with versus without a depressive disorder as the second factor.

 Focused attention in a simple dichotic listening task: an fMRI experiment.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Three different dichotic listening tasks were used: the subjects were instructed to either concentrate on the stimuli presented in both ears (DIV), or only in the left (FL) or right (FR) ear and to monitor the auditory input for a specific target tone.
Thus, it is clear that dichotic listening makes use of various cognitive functions located within the dorsal and ventral stream of auditory information processing (i.e., the 'what' and 'where' streams).
These findings were taken as evidence that even a simple dichotic listening task such as the one used here, makes use of a distributed neural network comprising of the dorsal and ventral stream of auditory information processing.

One technique for increasing listening capacity is by time compressing an auditory signal--to play back an audio recording in less time than it took to record.
The dichotic speech sounds a bit annoying at first, as most listeners switched attention between their ears, but this unusual sensation became less noticeable over time.
These two-eared presentation styles can be used to (1) increase the time efficiency of the listener, (2) increase the intelligibility and comprehension of the material, or (3) a combination of the two.

 Differential effects of congenital versus acquired unilateral brain injury on dichotic listening performance: evidence ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
We assessed dichotic speech and complex-pitch discrimination in nine young patients with unilateral left-hemisphere injury and eight young patients with unilateral right-hemisphere injury incurred in the pre-perinatal (congenital) period.
These results indicate that although congenital damage produces a "lesion effect" in dichotic listening similar to that after damage acquired in adulthood, overall function is relatively spared.
To the extent that complex-pitch discrimination is affected by congenital damage to either hemisphere but speech discrimination is not, the present results are consistent with an asymmetric form of crowding during reorganization after congenital unilateral brain damage.

Dichotic listening refers to a technique used in the psychology laboratory, whereby a person wearing headphones hears different messages in the left and right ear.
The technique has been used with some success in teaching foreign language words - the foreign word is heard in the right ear while simultaneously the native translation is heard in the left ear (most people process speech better in the right ear).
