  4. Central Auditory Processing Disorder • This occurs when information that is heard is processed differently, therefore impairs one’s ability to comprehend the information. • Stems from the central auditory nervous system • Other contributing factors: selective attention, speech and the amount of background noise, frequency resolution, and temporal resolution.
