“…In contrast to a low-level auditory processing deficit, it has also been proposed that the phonological deficit in dyslexia is caused by problems with extracting (and processing) discrete phonological representations from the speech signal, rather than as generally poorer auditory perception (e.g., Manis et al 1997;Ramus 2003;Serniclaes et al 2001). Either way, the neurological basis for these phonological problems is in the speech processing areas of the brain (e.g., Paulesu et al 1996).…”

Initial lexical activation in typical populations is a direct reflection of the goodness of fit between the presented stimulus and the intended target. In this study, lexical activation was investigated upon presentation of polysyllabic pseudowords (such as procodile for crocodile) for the atypical population of dyslexic adults to see to what extent mismatching phonemic information affects lexical activation in the face of overwhelming support for one specific lexical candidate. Results of an auditory lexical decision task showed that sensitivity to phonemic mismatch was less in the dyslexic population, compared to the respective control group. However, the dyslexic participants were outperformed by their controls only for word-initial mismatches. It is argued that a subtle speech decoding deficit affects lexical activation levels and makes spoken word processing less robust against distortion.

“…However, an isolated phoneme categorization problem alone is unlikely to be the sole explanation for reading problems among dyslexic children. Although several studies have reported categorical speech perception deficits in dyslexics as a group (Chiappe, Chiappe, & Siegel, 2001;Godfrey, Syrdal-Lasky, Millay, & Knox, 1981;Maassen, Groenen, Crul, Assman-Hulsmans, & Gabreëls, 2001;Reed, 1989;Serniclaes, SprengerCharolles, Carré, & Demonet, 2001;Werker & Tees, 1987), many individual dyslexics show normal speech perception (Adlard & Hazan, 1998;Joanisse, Manis, Keating, & Seidenberg, 2000;Manis & Keating, 2005;Manis et al, 1997;Pennington, Van Orden, Smith, Green, & Haith, 1990;Ramus et al, 2003).…”

The integrity of phonological representation/processing in dyslexic children was explored with a gating task in which children listened to successively longer segments (gates) of a word. At each gate, the task was to decide what the entire word was. Responses were scored for overall accuracy as well as the children's sensitivity to coarticulation from the final consonant. As a group, dyslexic children were less able than normally achieving readers to detect coarticulation present in the vowel portion of the word, particularly on the most difficult items, namely those ending in a nasal sound. Hierarchical regression and path analyses indicated that phonological awareness mediated the relation of gating and general language ability to word and pseudoword reading ability.
