New predictors found: Auditory processing and comprehension-knowledge emerged as the strongest predictors of reading ability, surpassing visual processing and general intelligence. Why it matters: The ...
Inherent auditory perception skills influence the effects of music training on speech processing ability, a study suggests. Music training is thought to augment neural encoding of speech in the brain, ...
WASHINGTON – New research suggests it may be possible to predict which preschoolers will struggle to read – and it has to do with how the brain deciphers speech when it’s noisy. Scientists are looking ...
For decades, the common explanation for why children struggle to read has stayed remarkably consistent. Smart kids read well.
A large-scale Texas A&M University-led analysis has found that general intelligence and visual processing play smaller roles in reading ability than previously believed. Instead, auditory processing ...
In a recent article published in Nature, researchers investigated the early maturation of sound duration processing, a crucial auditory temporal feature. Study: Early maturation of sound duration ...
