Exploring the neural mechanisms underlying the speech processing and phonological deficits that characterise individuals with dyslexia
The primary aim of this thesis is to gain deeper insights into the neural mechanisms underlying dyslexia within the framework of Temporal Sampling (TS) theory, by focusing on adults. The study involved 48 adult English speakers, comprising 24 individuals with dyslexia and 24 controls without …

Sensitivity to (sub)lexical cues as a function of cognitive profile and language abilities
… in the integration of form-based cues (i.e. phonological and orthographic) with morphological, semantic, and lexico-semantic cues during written and spoken word processing, as evidenced by behavioural and MEG data. The first part of the thesis shows that the processing of visual words and …

Understanding dyslexia by measuring eye-movements during reading.
Dyslexia has been causally linked to both phonological deficits (Snowling, 2000) and difficulties in allocating attention (Valdois, Bosse, & Tainturier, 2004; Vidyasagar, 1999; Whitney & Cornelissen, 2005), both of which are utilised during parafoveal processing (Schotter, Angele, & Rayner, 2012). …

The Relationship Between Phonological Short-Term Memory (pSTM) and Categorical Perception of Speech
… listener. Prior research suggests that phonological short-term memory (pSTM) capacity is, in part, determined by the quality of the speech input. For example, recall is poorer for speech-in-noise, and individuals with poor pSTM may also show weak categorical perception. However, the …

An evaluation of the cerebellar deficit hypothesis of developmental dyslexia
The phonological processing deficit (PPD) hypothesis is the most influential theory proposed to explain the underlying cause of developmental dyslexia. However, alternative hypotheses have proposed that phonological deficits are just one manifestation of a more general learning disorder affecting …

Genetic Modulation of the Neonatal Neural Processing of Speech at High and Low Familial Risk for Developmental Dyslexia
… aims to identify potential neural oscillatory deficits in neonates associated with genetic and familial risk of dyslexia. Poor awareness of speech sounds (phonology) is the hallmark of dyslexia, across all languages studied so far. Despite the identification of several dyslexia susceptibility …
