Background Are developmental language disorders caused by poor auditory
discrimination? This is a popular theory, but behavioural evidence has been inconclusive …

It has frequently been claimed that children with specific language impairment (SLI) have
impaired auditory perception, but there is much controversy about the role of such deficits in …

A specific learning disability, developmental dyslexia, is a language-based disorder that is
shown to be strongly familial. Therefore, infants born to families with a history of the disorder …

It has been proposed that specific language impairment (SLI) is the consequence of low‐
level abnormalities in auditory perception. However, studies of long‐latency auditory ERPs …

Dyslexia is characterized by deficits in phonological processing abilities. However, it is
unclear what the underlying factors for poor phonological abilities or speech sound …

Background Developmental disorders of oral and written language have been linked to
deficits in the processing of auditory information. However, findings have been inconsistent …

We used event-related potentials (ERPs) to compare auditory word recognition in children
with specific language impairment (SLI group; N= 14) to a group of typically developing …

Objective Identifying early signs of developmental dyslexia, associated with deficient speech-
sound processing, is paramount to establish early interventions. We aimed to find early …

Pre-linguistic sensory deficits, especially in “temporal” processing, have been implicated in
developmental language impairment (LI). However, recent evidence has been equivocal …

Specific language impairment (SLI) is diagnosed when a child has problems in producing or
understanding language despite having a normal IQ and there being no other obvious …
