Keshavarzi, Mahmoud; Di Liberto, Giovanni M.; Gabrielczyk, Fiona; Wilson, Angela; Macfarlane, Annabel; Goswami, Usha – Developmental Science, 2024
The prevalent "core phonological deficit" model of dyslexia proposes that the reading and spelling difficulties characterizing affected children stem from prior developmental difficulties in processing speech sound structure, for example, perceiving and identifying syllable stress patterns, syllables, rhymes and phonemes. Yet spoken word…

Kalashnikova, Marina; Goswami, Usha; Burnham, Denis – Developmental Science, 2019
Here we report, for the first time, a relationship between sensitivity to amplitude envelope rise time in infants and their later vocabulary development. Recent research in auditory neuroscience has revealed that amplitude envelope rise time plays a mechanistic role in speech encoding. Accordingly, individual differences in infant discrimination…

Kalashnikova, Marina; Burnham, Denis; Goswami, Usha – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021
Visual-verbal-paired associate learning (PAL) is strongly related to reading acquisition, possibly indexing a distinct cross-modal mechanism for learning letter-sound associations. We measured linguistic abilities (nonword repetition, vocabulary size) longitudinally at 3.5 and 4.0 years, and visual-verbal PAL and letter knowledge at 4.0 and…
