Background In domains other than language, there is fairly consistent diagnostic
terminology to refer to children's developmental difficulties. For instance, the terms …

Considerable research indicates that learners are sensitive to probabilistic structure in
laboratory studies of artificial language learning. However, the artificial and simplified nature …

In this paper we highlight why there is a need to examine subcortical learning systems in
children with language impairment and dyslexia, rather than focusing solely on cortical …

Developmental disorders of language include developmental language disorder, dyslexia,
and motor-speech disorders such as articulation disorder and stuttering. These disorders …

The most common neurodevelopmental disorders (eg, developmental dyslexia (DD), autism,
attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)) have been the subject of numerous …

Impairments in statistical learning might be a common deficit among individuals with Specific
Language Impairment (SLI) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Using meta-analysis, we …

This paper provides a review of recent research on executive function abilities in children
with specific language impairment (SLI). Across several studies, children with SLI are …

Impaired procedural learning has been suggested as a possible cause of developmental
dyslexia (DD) and developmental language disorder (DLD). We evaluate this theory by …

It is now evident that explanations of many developmental disorders need to include a
network perspective. In earlier work, we proposed that developmental dyslexia (DD) is well …

In the generative tradition, the language faculty has been shrinking—perhaps to include only
the mechanism of recursion. This paper argues that even this view of the language faculty is …
