Perception of Speech and Nonspeech Stimuli by Children with and without Reading Disability and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Breier, Joshua I.; Gray, Lincoln C.; Fletcher, Jack M.; Foorman, Barbara; Klaas, Patricia

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v82 n3 p226-50 Jul 2002

Administered temporal order judgment and discrimination tasks to children with reading disabilities (RD), with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, with both disorders, or with neither. Found that RD children showed no specific sensitivity to the interstimulus interval and performed worse than non-RD children on speech but not nonspeech tasks. Relationships between perceptual tasks and phonological processing were stronger and more consistent for speech than nonspeech stimuli. (Author/KB)
