- On the role of syllable structure in atypical phonological development: Evidence from the acquisition of /l/ by Portuguese childrenby Jéssica Gomes on May 16, 2024
The alveolar lateral is phonetically and phonologically complex. Previous studies have shown that /l/ is one of the last segments to be acquired by typically developing Portuguese children. However, little is known about how Portuguese children with atypical development acquire /l/. In this paper, we investigate the acquisition of /l/ by Portuguese children with protracted phonological development (DLD; SSD). We explore the effect of syllable structure and segmental properties in the acquisition...
- Impact of reading intervention on the phonological awareness of children with autism spectrum disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysisby Monalysse Francisca Pereira Dos Santos on May 15, 2024
CONCLUSION: Shared reading and software activities with words and phrases can alter phonological awareness. These results support further research with larger samples and a detailed description of the intervention to observe its effectiveness in phonological awareness.
- Impaired speech input and output processing abilities in children with cleft palate speech disorderby Linrui Yang on May 10, 2024
CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: Compared with normal controls, children with CPSD have deficits in both speech input and output processing, and there is a strong correlation between speech input and output speech processing abilities. In addition, the pseudo words task was more challenging than the real word task for both groups.
- Functional connectivity is linked to working memory differences in children with reading learning disabilityby Rodrigo Flores-Gallegos on May 9, 2024
Reading learning disability (RLD) is characterized by a specific difficulty in learning to read that is not better explained by an intellectual disability, lack of instruction, psychosocial adversity, or a neurological disorder. According to the domain-general hypothesis, a working memory deficit is the primary problem. Working memory in this population has recently been linked to altered resting-state functional connectivity within the default mode network (DMN), salience network (SN), and...
