A comparison between vocal reaction time and word recognition measures of children with APD and age-matched peers using auditory word discrimination test.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of improving speech recognition testing sensitivity in children with auditory processing disorders (APD) by incorporating response time measures. A group of children identified in a clinical setting as having APD was compared to an age-matched peer group using a vocal reaction time (VRT) format. The participants were between the ages of 5.

Cortical activity of children with dyslexia during natural speech processing: evidence of auditory processing deficiency.

Children with dyslexia have difficulties with phonological processing. It is assumed that deficits in auditory temporal processing underlie the phonological difficulties of dyslectic subjects (i.e.
