“…In 1983, Brady, Shankweiler, and Mann showed that children with dyslexia recognized words in noise more poorly than their peers with normal hearing (NH), even though recognition scores in quiet were comparable across groups. This finding was attributed to poor phonological category formation on the part of the children with dyslexia, and work since then has supported that suggestion (e.g., Serniclaes, Ventura, Morais, & Kolinsky, 2005; Vance & Martindale, 2011). Other studies have found that individuals with reading problems have difficulty creating categories from sensory inputs, regardless of whether they are related to speech (Ahissar, Lubin, Putter-Katz, & Banai, 2006; Nittrouer, Shune, & Lowenstein, 2011).…”
