Local Temporal Regularities in Child-Directed Speech in Spanish
(ASHA, 2022)
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to characterize the local (utterance-level)
temporal regularities of child-directed speech (CDS) that might facilitate phonological
development in Spanish, classically termed a ...
Impaired neural entrainment to low frequency amplitude modulations in English-speaking children with dyslexia or dyslexia and DLD
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
Neural synchronization to amplitude-modulated noise at three frequencies (2 Hz, 5 Hz, 8 Hz) thought to be important for syllable perception was investigated in English-speaking school-aged children. The theoretically-important ...
Novel word learning deficits in infants at family risk for dyslexia
(Dyslexia, 2020)
Children of reading age diagnosed with dyslexia show deficits
in reading and spelling skills, but early markers of later
dyslexia are already present in infancy in auditory
processing and phonological domains. Deficits ...
Sensitivity to amplitude envelope rise time in infancy and vocabulary development at 3 years: A significant relationship
(Developmental Science, 2019)
Here we report, for the first time, a relationship between sensitivity to amplitude envelope
rise time in infants and their later vocabulary development. Recent research in auditory
neuroscience has revealed that amplitude ...
Rhythm discrimination and metronome tapping in 4-year-old children at risk for developmental dyslexia
(Cognitive Development, 2021)
Temporally accurate perception and production of rhythmic patterns are key factors related to
language development and reading acquisition. Here we investigate rhythm discrimination and
rhythm production in children who ...
Delayed development of phonological constancy in toddlers at family risk for dyslexia
(Infant Behavior and Development, 2019)
Phonological constancy refers to infants’ ability to disregard variations in the phonetic realisation of speech sounds that do not indicate lexical
contrast, e.g., when listening to accented speech. In typically-developing ...
Infant‐directed speech to infants at risk for dyslexia: A novel cross‐dyad design
(Wiley, 2020)
When mothers speak to infants at risk for developmental dyslexia, they do not hyperarticulate vowels in their infant‐directed speech (IDS). Here, we used an innovative cross‐dyad design to investigate whether the absence ...
The Role of Paired Associate Learning in Acquiring Letter-Sound Correspondences: A Longitudinal Study of Children at Family Risk for Dyslexia
(Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021)
Visual-verbal-paired associate learning (PAL) is strongly related to reading acquisition, possibly indexing a distinct cross-modal mechanism for learning letter-sound associations. We measured linguistic abilities (nonword ...
