Basic Auditory Processing Deficits in Dyslexia: Systematic Review of the Behavioral and Event-Related Potential/ Field Evidence
TLDR
Findings show that measures of frequency, rise time, and duration discrimination as well as amplitude modulation and frequency modulation detection were most often impaired in individuals with dyslexia.Abstract:
A review of research that uses behavioral, electroencephalographic, and/or magnetoencephalographic methods to investigate auditory processing deficits in individuals with dyslexia is presented. Findings show that measures of frequency, rise time, and duration discrimination as well as amplitude modulation and frequency modulation detection were most often impaired in individuals with dyslexia. Less consistent findings were found for intensity and gap perception. Additional factors that mediate auditory processing deficits in individuals with dyslexia and their implications are discussed.read more

Why would Musical Training Benefit the Neural Encoding of Speech? The OPERA Hypothesis.
TL;DR: The OPERA hypothesis is used to account for the observed superior subcortical encoding of speech in musically trained individuals, and to suggest mechanisms by which musical training might improve linguistic reading abilities.

Music, rhythm, rise time perception and developmental dyslexia: perception of musical meter predicts reading and phonology.
TL;DR: It is shown that individual differences in the perception of amplitude envelope rise time are linked to musical meetrical sensitivity, and that musical metrical sensitivity predicts PA and reading development, accounting for over 60% of variance in reading along with age and I.Q.

Oral language deficits in familial dyslexia: A meta-analysis and review.
TL;DR: It is suggested that a phonological processing deficit can be conceptualized as an endophenotype of dyslexia that increases the continuous risk of reading difficulties; in turn its impact may be moderated by protective factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preschool impairments in auditory processing and speech perception uniquely predict future reading problems
TL;DR: Although no specific directional relations were observed between auditory processing, speech perception and phonological awareness, the highly significant concurrent and predictive correlations between all these variables suggest a reciprocal association and corroborate the evidence for the auditory deficit theory of dyslexia.

Music and Early Language Acquisition
TL;DR: The prevailing view that music cognition matures more slowly than language and is more difficult; instead, it is argued that music learning matches the speed and effort of language acquisition.

The nature of phonological processing and its causal role in the acquisition of reading skills
TL;DR: The causal role of phonological abilities in the acquisition of reading skills was explored in this article, where it was shown that phonological recoding in lexical access and phonetic receding in working memory are causally related to the ability to read.

The N1 wave of the human electric and magnetic response to sound: a review and an analysis of the component structure
Risto Näätänen,Terence W. Picton +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that at least six different cerebral processes can contribute to the Nl wave of the human auditory evoked potential, and that they often last much longer than the true N1 components that they overlap.

Categorizing sounds and learning to read: A causal connection.
Lynette Bradley,Peter Bryant +1 more
TL;DR: This paper found that children who are backward in reading are strikingly insensitive to rhyme and alliteration and are at a disadvantage when categorizing words on the basis of common sounds even in comparison with younger children who read no better than they do.
Book
An Introduction to the Psychology of Hearing
TL;DR: In this paper, the nature of sound and the structure and function of the auditory system are discussed, including absolute thresholds, frequency selectivity, masking and the critical band, and the perception of loudness.
Book
Attention and brain function
TL;DR: This book delineates cerebral mechanisms of attention in humans as they presently appear in the light of data obtained by using various modern brain-research techniques and develops an integrative view of human information processing.
