Implicit phonological and semantic processing in children with developmental dyslexia: Evidence from event-related potentials

Developmental dyslexia is a specific learning disability that affects reading acquisition, and that is estimated to affect 5-12% of school-age children. It is characterized by a core phonological deficit, although recent studies indicate that semantic impairment also contributes to this condition. In this study, event-related potentials (ERP) were used to examine whether the N400 wave in dyslexic children is modulated by phonological or semantic priming, similarly to age-matched controls ...
