Methods: The study involved 383 children (5.5 \u00b1 2.4 years old). We assessed the conduct of auditory information by recording the auditory brain stem response (ABR), post-rotational nystagmus (PRN), and cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMP), and calculated the integration of the parameters. All procedures were carried out using the JACOBI 4 software package. Results: We have found out that PRN, ABR, and cVEMP represent three different groups of integrative functions, each of which is conditioned by its own integrative mechanism. We have proven that PRN and ABR are associated with age, but no relationship was found between cVEMP and age. Conclusion: According to our data, the severity of ABR and PRN depended on age, while cVEMP was not associated with age. The functional immaturity of the child\u2019s vestibular system, which probably arose in utero, often becomes apparent only at school when reading and writing must be mastered. These skills require maturity of both the vestibule ocular and vestibule spinal functions of the vestibular system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children9030401","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,11]],"date-time":"2022-03-11T12:58:36Z","timestamp":1647003516000},"page":"401","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Integration of Vestibular and Auditory Information in Ontogenesis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Elena I.","family":"Nikolaeva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of the Developmental Psychology and Family Pedagogics, Herzen State Pedagogical University, 191186 Saint-Petersburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Victoria L.","family":"Efimova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prognoz Pediatric Neurological Clinic, Director, 191014 Saint-Petersburg, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eugeny G.","family":"Vergunov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of the Organism Functional Reserves, Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution, Scientific Research Institute of Neurosciences and Medicine, 630099 Novosibirsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"109","article-title":"Will the present younger adults become future orbital space tourists?","volume":"46","author":"Wang","year":"2021","journal-title":"Tour.
