INTRODUCTION: In a recent study, we reported that the accurate perception of beat
structure in music ('perception of musical meter') accounted for over 40% of the variance in …

Rhythm organizes events in time and plays a major role in music, but also in the phonology
and prosody of a language. Interestingly, children with developmental dyslexia—a learning …

Introduction Rhythm organises musical events into patterns and forms, and rhythm
perception in music is usually studied by using metrical tasks. Metrical structure also plays …

The core cognitive difficulty in developmental dyslexia involves phonological processing, but
adults and children with dyslexia also have sensory impairments. Impairments in basic …

There is mounting evidence for links between musical rhythm processing and reading‐
related cognitive skills, such as phonological awareness. This may be because music and …

Previous results showed a positive influence of music training on linguistic abilities at both
attentive and preattentive levels. Here, we investigate whether six months of active music …

Temporal and spectral auditory processing abilities are required for efficient and unimpaired
processing of speech and might thus be associated with the development of phonological …

Recent research has suggested a novel link between deficits in the perception of cues
relevant to speech rhythm (ie, deficits in amplitude envelope rise time processing, or beat …

Purpose: We review a series of experiments aimed at studying pitch processing in music
and speech. These studies were conducted with musician and non musician adults and …

Children with developmental dyslexia appear to be insensitive to basic auditory cues to
speech rhythm and stress. For example, they experience difficulties in processing duration …
