TLDR
It is suggested that dyslexics have difficulty with the nonlexical procedures (including phoneme segmentation) involved in verbal repetition; one consequence is that they take longer to consolidate "new" words; verbal memory and reading processes are also compromised.About:

Specific reading disability (dyslexia): what have we learned in the past four decades?
TL;DR: Evidence is presented in support of the idea that many poor readers are impaired because of inadequate instruction or other experiential factors, and Hypothesized deficits in general learning abilities and low-level sensory deficits have weak validity as causal factors in specific reading disability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phonological recoding and self-teaching: sine qua non of reading acquisition.
TL;DR: This paper elaborates the self-teaching hypothesis, reviews relevant evidence, and notes that current models of word recognition fail to address the quintessential problem of reading acquisition-independent generation of target pronunciations for novel orthographic strings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental dyslexia and specific language impairment: same or different?
TL;DR: The authors suggest that 2 dimensions of impairment are needed to conceptualize the relationship between these disorders and to capture phenotypic features that are important for identifying neurobiologically and etiologically coherent subgroups.

The children's test of nonword repetition: A test of phonological working memory
TL;DR: Findings from the Children's Test of Nonword Repetition are shown to be consistently higher and more specific than those obtained between language skills and another simple verbal task with a significant phonological memory component, auditory digit span.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonword repetition and word learning: The nature of the relationship.
TL;DR: This paper presented a theoretical framework designed to accommodate core evidence that the abilities to repeat nonwords and to learn the phonological forms of new words are closely linked, and concluded that word learning mediated by temporary phonological storage is a primitive learning mechanism that is particularly important in the early stages of acquiring a language, but remains available to support word learning across the life span.

Acoustic confusions in immediate memory.
TL;DR: The role of neurological noise in recall is discussed in relation to these results as discussed by the authors, and it is further argued that information theory is inadequate to explain the memory span, since the nature of the stimulus set, which can be defined quantitatively, as well as the information per item, is likely to be a determining factor.

Assessing phonological awareness in kindergarten children: Issues of task comparability
TL;DR: In this paper, ten different phonological awareness tasks were administered to a group of kindergarten children whose reading ability was assessed 1 year later, and the relative predictive accuracy of the phonological tasks was equal to or better than more global measures of cognitive skills such as an intelligence test and a reading readiness test.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Primer of Signal Detection Theory; Table of D' and β
TL;DR: The laws of categorical and comparative judgements of signal detection have been studied in the literature as mentioned in this paper for signal detection with equal variance with equal Variances, i.e., Gaussian Distributions of Signal and Noise with Unequal Variants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Difficulties in auditory organisation as a possible cause of reading backwardness
Lynette Bradley,Peter Bryant +1 more
TL;DR: Results are reported which suggest that difficulties in groupings of words which are different but which have sounds in common may be a significant source of difficulty in learning to read.
Book
A primer of signal detection theory
TL;DR: This book discusses Gaussian Distributions of Signal and Noise With Equal Variances, Choice Theory Approximations to Signal Detection Theory, and Threshold Theory.
