Do Dyslexics Have Auditory Input Processing Difficulties?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Poulsen, Mads – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2011
Word production difficulties are well documented in dyslexia, whereas the results are mixed for receptive phonological processing. This asymmetry raises the possibility that the core phonological deficit of dyslexia is restricted to output processing stages. The present study investigated whether a group of dyslexics had word level receptive…

Spoken Sentence Comprehension in Children with Dyslexia and Language Impairment: The Roles of Syntax and Working Memory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Robertson, Erin K.; Joanisse, Marc F. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2010
We examined spoken sentence comprehension in school-age children with developmental dyslexia or language impairment (LI), compared to age-matched and younger controls. Sentence-picture matching tasks were employed under three different working memory (WM) loads, two levels of syntactic difficulty, and two sentence lengths. Phonological short-term…

Examination of Phonological Working Memory in Specifically Language-Impaired Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Montgomery, James W. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1995
Examined the phonological memory capacity, rate of articulation, phonological encoding, and perceptual-processing abilities of 13 specifically language-impaired (SLI) children and 13 language-matched normal (NL) children. The results of a nonsense word repetition task showed that SLI children repeated significantly fewer multisyllabic nonsense…

Intrusion of Orthographic Knowledge on Phoneme Awareness: Strong in Normal Readers, Weak in Dyslexic Readers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Landerl, Karin; And Others – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1996
Focuses on the importance of phonology in establishing orthographic representations. In normal readers, phonological and orthographic representations of words are so closely connected that they are usually coactivated, whereas in dyslexics, this connection is less strong, so that orthographic representations interfere less with phonemic…

Onset/Rime Sensitivity and Orthographic Analogies in Normal and Poor Readers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Greaney, Keith T.; Tunmer, William E. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1996
Studied the relationship between the ease with which children use orthographic analogies and their reading skills. Results of an experiment using a reading age match design showed that poor readers performed as well as normal readers on orally presented measures of onset/rhyme sensitivity, but less well on visually/orally presented rhyme tasks.…

Phonological and Lexical Development in Normal and Late-Talking Toddlers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Thal, Donna J.; And Others – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1995
Toddlers in the lowest 10th percentile for lexical production were compared with age- and language-matched controls on measures of phonetic complexity, lexical development, and grammatical complexity. Results indicate an overlap between phonology, lexicon, and grammar and suggest the importance of true consonant production for lexical development.…
