“…However, diagnostic batteries for dysprosodic impairments are scarce and they typically do not clearly differentiate between perceptual, representational and motor levels of the deficit (e.g. Peppé & McCann, 2003;Samuelsson, Scocco, & Nettelbladt, 2003; for German see Spreer & Sallat, 2011). With respect to remediation, treatment of auditory processing abilities has been demonstrated to be effective (McArthur et al, 2008).…”

Word stress processing has repeatedly been reported to be affected in specific language impairment (SLI) with potential consequences for various aspects of language development. However, it still remains unresolved whether word stress impairments in SLI are due to deficits in basic auditory processing or to a degraded phonological representation or both. We addressed this question examining an unselected sample of 10 children with SLI and 11 typically developing (TD) children, aged about 8 years, with respect to their basic auditory processing (duration and skewness discrimination) and phonological representation of prosodic (word stress) and segmental (consonant) contrasts. Our results show lower performance of the SLI group compared to the TD group in all tasks. Crucially, two subgroups of children with SLI emerged from our analyses: While one group was impaired in basic auditory perception, particularly affecting duration discrimination, the other showed no significant auditory processing deficits but a representational impairment.
