A longitudinal study of tapping to the beat by school-aged children with and without dyslexia: assessments of the mediating role of phonology Open
In this article, we report a longitudinal study of the relationship between tapping consistency, phonological awareness, and literacy development in a sample of children initially aged approximately 8 years who were followed for 6 years. T…

Binaural temporal fine structure sensitivity for children with developmental dyslexia Open
Purpose. Atypical temporal processing is thought to be involved in the phonological difficulties that characterise children with developmental dyslexia (DYS). The Temporal Sampling (TS) theory of dyslexia (Goswami, 2011) posits that the pr…

Amplitude rise time sensitivity in children with and without dyslexia: differential task effects and longitudinal relations to phonology and literacy Open
The speech amplitude envelope carries important acoustic information required for speech intelligibility and contains sensory cues (amplitude rise times, ARTs) that play a key role in both sensory rhythm perception and neural speech encodi…

Atypical low-frequency cortical encoding of speech identifies children with developmental dyslexia Open
Slow cortical oscillations play a crucial role in processing the speech amplitude envelope, which is perceived atypically by children with developmental dyslexia. Here we use electroencephalography (EEG) recorded during natural speech list…

Atypical beta-band effects in children with dyslexia in response to rhythmic audio-visual speech Open
These findings offer further insights into the neurophysiological basis of atypical rhythmic speech processing by children with dyslexia, suggesting the involvement of a wide range of frequency bands.

Neural responses to natural and enhanced speech edges in children with and without dyslexia Open
Sensory-neural studies indicate that children with developmental dyslexia show impairments in processing acoustic speech envelope information. Prior studies suggest that this arises in part from reduced sensory sensitivity to amplitude ris…

Atypical speech production of multisyllabic words and phrases by children with developmental dyslexia Open
The prevalent "core phonological deficit" model of dyslexia proposes that the reading and spelling difficulties characterizing affected children stem from prior developmental difficulties in processing speech sound structure, for example, …

Atypical beta-band effects in children with dyslexia in response to rhythmic audio-visual speech Open
Children with dyslexia are known to show impairments in perceiving speech rhythm, which impact their phonological development. Neural rhythmic speech studies have reported atypical delta phase in children with dyslexia, but beta band effec…

Decoding of speech information using EEG in children with dyslexia: Less accurate low-frequency representations of speech, not “Noisy” representations Open
The amplitude envelope of speech carries crucial low-frequency acoustic information that assists linguistic decoding. The sensory-neural Temporal Sampling (TS) theory of developmental dyslexia proposes atypical encoding of speech envelope …

Atypical cortical encoding of speech identifies children with Dyslexia versus Developmental Language Disorder Open
Slow cortical oscillations play a crucial role in processing the speech envelope, which is perceived atypically by children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and developmental dyslexia. Here we use electroencephalography (EEG) and…

View article: Atypical delta-band phase consistency and atypical preferred phase in children with dyslexia during neural entrainment to rhythmic audio-visual speech
Atypical delta-band phase consistency and atypical preferred phase in children with dyslexia during neural entrainment to rhythmic audio-visual speech Open
According to the sensory-neural Temporal Sampling theory of developmental dyslexia, neural sampling of auditory information at slow rates (<10 Hz, related to speech rhythm) is atypical in dyslexic individuals, particularly in the delta ban…

Development of binaural temporal fine structure sensitivity in children Open
The highest frequency for which the temporal fine structure (TFS) of a sinewave can be compared across ears varies between listeners with an upper limit of about 1400 Hz for young normal-hearing adults (YNHA). In this study, binaural TFS s…
