Recent behavioral studies suggest that children with poor language abilities have difficulty
with attentional filtering, or noise exclusion. However, as behavioral performance represents …

Recent proposals suggest that some interventions designed to improve language skills
might also target or train selective attention. The present study examined whether six weeks …

Purpose Children with specific language impairment (SLI) appear to demonstrate deficits in
attention and its control. Selective attention involves the cognitive control of attention …

OBJECTIVE: The aim was to determine whether children with specific language impairment
(SLI) differed from children with typical language development (TLD) in their allocation of …

Behavioral and electrophysiological evidence suggests that the development of selective
attention extends over the first two decades of life. However, much of this research may …

This study explores the selectivity of the relationship between auditory attention and
language in children. A total of 42 children (16 females) between 7.0 and 10.0 years of age …

Recent event-related potential (ERP) evidence demonstrates that adults employ temporally
selective attention to preferentially process the initial portions of words in continuous …

Auditory selective attention is a critical skill for goal-directed behavior, especially where
noisy distractions may impede focusing attention. To better understand the developmental …

This study tested if children with specific language impairment (SLI) or children with specific
reading disability (SRD) have abnormal brain responses to sounds. We tested 6‐to 12‐year …

In order to become a proficient user of language, infants must detect temporal cues
embedded within the noisy acoustic spectra of ongoing speech by efficient attentional …
