Previous results showed a positive influence of music training on linguistic abilities at both
attentive and preattentive levels. Here, we investigate whether six months of active music …

There is extensive evidence suggesting that the language and literacy problems
experienced by dyslexics are caused by deficits in various sensory, cognitive and motor …

There is some evidence for a role of music training in boosting phonological awareness,
word segmentation, working memory, as well as reading abilities in children with typical …

INTRODUCTION: In a recent study, we reported that the accurate perception of beat
structure in music ('perception of musical meter') accounted for over 40% of the variance in …

Musical training has been shown to positively influence linguistic abilities. To follow the
developmental dynamics of this transfer effect at the preattentive level, we conducted a …

Rhythm organizes events in time and plays a major role in music, but also in the phonology
and prosody of a language. Interestingly, children with developmental dyslexia—a learning …

Tasks assessing perception of a phonemic contrast based on voice onset time (VOT) and a
nonspeech analog of a VOT contrast using tone onset time (TOT) were administered to …

The core cognitive difficulty in developmental dyslexia involves phonological processing, but
adults and children with dyslexia also have sensory impairments. Impairments in basic …

The phonological deficit theory of dyslexia assumes that degraded speech sound
representations might hamper the acquisition of stable letter–speech sound associations …

Although the generality of dyslexia and its devastating effects on the individual's life are
widely acknowledged, its precursors and associated neural mechanisms are poorly …
