Event-Related Potentials and Consonant Differentiation in Newborns with Familial Risk for Dyslexia.

Guttorm, Tomi K.; Leppanen, Paavo H. T.; Richardson, Ulla; Lyytinen, Heikki

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v34 n6 p534-44 Nov-Dec 2001

This study examined event-related potentials (ERPs) to synthetic consonant-vowel syllables from 26 newborns with familial risk for dyslexia and 23 control infants participating in a longitudinal study of dyslexia. Results indicated that the cortical electric activation evoked by speech elements differed between children with and without risk for dyslexia, even immediately after birth. (Contains references.)
