Auditory temporal perception, phonics, and reading disabilities in children ☆
Paula Tallal,Paula Tallal +1 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that some reading impairments are related to low-level auditory perceptual dysfunction that affects the ability to learn to use phonics skills adequately is discussed.
Journal Article
Language comprehension in language-learning impaired children improved with acoustically modified speech
Paula Tallal,Steve Miller,Gail Bedi,G. Byma,Xiaoqin Wang,Srikantan S. Nagarajan,Christoph E. Schreiner,William M. Jenkins,Michael M. Merzenich +8 more
TL;DR: A speech processing algorithm was developed to create more salient versions of the rapidly changing elements in the acoustic waveform of speech that have been shown to be deficiently processed by language-learning impaired (LLI) children.

Language comprehension in language-learning impaired children improved with acoustically modified speech
Paula Tallal,Steve Miller,Gail Bedi,G. Byma,Xiaoqin Wang,Srikantan S. Nagarajan,Christoph E. Schreiner,William M. Jenkins,Michael M. Merzenich +8 more
TL;DR: A speech processing algorithm was developed to create more salient versions of the rapidly changing elements in the acoustic waveform of speech that have been shown to be deficiently processed by language-learning impaired (LLI) children as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal processing deficits of language-learning impaired children ameliorated by training
Michael M. Merzenich,William M. Jenkins,Paul Johnston,Christoph E. Schreiner,Steven L. Miller,Paula Tallal +5 more
TL;DR: Children with language-based learning impairments with major deficits in their recognition of some rapidly successive phonetic elements and nonspeech sound stimuli were engaged in adaptive training exercises mounted as computer "games" designed to drive improvements in their "temporal processing" skills.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurobiological Basis of Speech: A Case for the Preeminence of Temporal Processing
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present evidence supporting the hypothesis that a basic temporal processing impairment in language-impaired children underlies their inability to integrate sensory information that converges in rapid succession in the central nervous system.
