Auditory perception processes and motor learning. Bibliographic Review

Abstract

Introduction: At the neurophysiological level the cerebellum, the basal ganglia and the limbic system are important in the coordination and memory of movement. Objective: To understand the processes involved in the sensoperceptive relationship of hearing and motor learning is a permanent motivation of different disciplines. Method: A documentary review is presented that aimed to analyze the relationship of auditory perception and motor learning using content analysis from the perspectives of audiology, medicine and neurorehabilitation. The key words and combinations taken into account were: hearing perception, learning, balance, coordination, and combinations hearing-learning, hearing-balance, and hearing-coordination. The databases and metasearchers Pubmed, Medscape, Trip, ScienceDirect, EBSCOhots, Pedro, Scielo, and Lilacs were used. Virtual libraries such as SINAB, Cochrane, University of Malaga, UsNational Library of Medicine, and National Institutes of Health. We selected 22 articles that met the inclusion criteria. Results: A relationship was found between auditory perception and motor learning in the communication of auditory and motor sensory information at the level of processing in the cerebellum and basal ganglia, being a fundamental part of the retention and motor transfer. Conclusion: In the process of motor learning that involves the experience of movement, we propose the participation of hearing, by integrating the perceived signals –visual, auditory, motor and vestibular– that are concretized to improve learning, making it more effective, generating a more lasting memory.
