Abstract

Discussion of Results Our objective in this research was to study the categorization of speech sounds (phonemes) in normal subjects and subjects with disorders of auditory discrimination. The hypothesis we set forward was that there would be an evident difference in the MMN elicited from the normal subjects and the subjects with disorders in auditory discrimination.
