Does phonological processing, a specific subtype of dyslexia, impact performance on intelligence tests?
… impact of a specific subtype of dyslexia, namely phonological processing, on performance and the results of ability on IQ testing. Twenty-two records from a learning center in southern New Jersey were used for data in this study. The sample consisted of 12 male and 10 female children's charts. …

Prenatal alcohol exposure-related reading and phonological processing deficits mediated by working memory
… exposure (PAE) on reading ability and/or on phonological processing. Most published studies have only included measures of single-word reading. This choice means those studies may lack ecological validity in that they might not have adequately captured the real-life reading difficulties …

Change in the Adult Phonological Processing System by Learning Non -Adjacent Phonotactic Constraints From Brief Experience: An Experimental and Computational Study
… the phonotactic knowledge functions in the adult phonological processing system to change its perceptual behavior. The experimental results are simulated with two computational models that demonstrate how the adult phonological processing system adapts to recent experience: how it comes to …

The Effects of Chinese and Spanish Writing Systems on L2 English Learners’ Vocabulary Acquisition
… processes. This research examines the visual and phonological processes used by native Spanish and Chinese speakers and how these processes affect their acquisition of English vocabulary and spelling. Experiments 1 and 2 investigate how native Chinese and Spanish speakers associate graphemes to …

Cognition and communication in children/adolescents with cochlear implant
… between cognition (working memory capacity) and phonological processing and more complex skills such as the ability to interact with hearing peers, speech recognition in noise and aspects of reading and writing in children/adolescents with CI. The ability to repeat and discriminate nonwords was …

Phonological and semantic influences on auditory word perception in children with and without reading impairments using magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG)
… has been a growing consensus about the role of phonological processing in reading disability. Poor readers typically do worse than their normal reading peers on tasks that require phonological processing which has been linked, directly or indirectly, to their speech perception abilities. The …

Examining Cognitive Processing in Children with an Arithmetic Disability
… cognitive deficit. The second study examined the phonological processing performance of children with AD compared to children with comorbid disabilities in arithmetic and word recognition (AD/WRD) and to typically achieving (TA) children. Results indicated that, while children with AD did …

Impaired learning of phonetic consistency and generalized neural adaptation deficits in dyslexia
… the development of expert reading ability. Phonological processing deficits -- impaired representation of, or access to, the abstract units of spoken language -- have been implicated as the principal source of reading difficulties in dyslexia, independent of other cognitive factors. However, …

Phonological representation and processing in bilingual learners: investigating cross- language phonological activation and accuracy of phonological representation
Phonological activation and processing constitute a pivotal area of inquiry within second language (L2) research. The intersection and distinctiveness of phonological representation across languages leads to cross-linguistic phonological activation and challenges in L2 phonological processing. A …

Literacy Development in School-Aged Children With Simultaneous Bilateral Cochlear Implants
… achievement in reading, writing, language, and phonological processing were measured through standardized assessment tools appropriate for school-aged children: the Clinical Evaluation of Language FundamentalsFifth Edition (Wiig, Semel, & Secord, 2013), the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, …

A genome-wide linkage scan and targeted family-based association analysis of dyslexia
… is commonly attributed to a core deficit in phonological processing, the understanding of how phonemes, syllables and words are used in a language. Dyslexia is a complex genetic disorder with a strong genetic component; nine susceptibility loci (DYX1-9) have been identified with eight other …

Context Effects on Sublexical Processing in Older and Younger Neurologically Typical Adults
… that at the single word level, intact sublexical phonological processing is obligatory to access lexical-semantic representations when stimuli are closely matched in perceptual discriminability. Moreover, a variety of studies have demonstrated that processing may be influenced by contextual …

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 …

The Influence of Orthographic Experiences on the Development of Functional Phonological Unit in Spoken Word Production
… experiences on the development of the functional phonological unit in spoken word production in native Mandarin-speaking children. Functional phonological unit refers to the first selectable phonological unit after lexical selection in the planning of spoken word production. Previous research has …

The Effect of Levels of Processing on Event-Related-Potentials
… could be observed across three levels of processing. It was hypothesized that physiological correlates of encoding and retrieval would be observed at electrode sites near Cz with the semantic processing condition yielding the most positive going event-related-potential, the phonological …

The Paradox of Reading Disabilities: Assessing Creative Potential in Children at-risk for Reading Disabilities
… at-risk for learning disabilities demonstrated phonological awareness abilities that were statistically significantly discrepant from their creative thinking skills. The sample of children in this study often demonstrated significantly below average phonological processing skills and creativity …
