Background

This section provides a background to the topic and provides a definition of APD and an outline of the 3 types of APD.  There is a short 4-minute video by Prof David R. Moore (one of the co-authors of this MESHGuide) who explains how ‘bottom up’ and ‘top down’ processes work together in auditory processing.  Finally, a snapshot of the controversy surrounding APD is provided.
