A study conducted by the University of Cambridge explored the neural processing of rhythmic speech in 9-year-old children with developmental language disorder (DLD) using EEG. The research aimed to investigate differences in phase entrainment, power, and cross-frequency coupling between children with and without DLD. Contrary to predictions, children with DLD showed significant phase entrainment in delta and theta bands, but not in the low gamma band, indicating important neural differences in processing rhythmic speech. The findings are discussed in the context of auditory theories of DLD, particularly Temporal Sampling theory. [Extracted from the article] |
