Reading fluency and pitch discrimination abilities in children with learning disabilities

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Pitch perception and pitch matching may link to individual reading skills. OBJECTIVE: In this study, we examined pitch perception and pitch matching tasks in children with learning disabilities to determine whether there was any connection between these tests and the reading fluency in these children. METHOD: The study used different types of pitch discrimination tests and reading fluency tests to compare the two groups. RESULTS: Results indicated that the accuracy of pitch discrimination and reading fluency was significantly different in these children with learning disabilities relative to typically developing children. This study also indicated that they exhibit impaired pitch matching, which linked to their reading skills. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that processing and production of speech may be impacted by individuals’ musical pitch perception and matching ability. The results may also give us a piece of evidence that we need further research on how these deficits in musical pitch perception affect our speech and language production in children and adults.

Reading and Writing Skills Development for kindergarten Children with Learning Disabilities Using Artificial Intelligence Applications

“…To verify the validity of this hypothesis, the researcher has used the Wilcoxon test to find the differences between the mean grade levels of children in the post and following scales of the reading and writing skills after using ‫الطفولة‬ ‫مجلة‬ ‫يناير‬ ‫عذد‬ ( ‫والثالثون‬ ‫السابع‬ ‫العذد‬ 0202 ) ‫ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ‬ ‫ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ‬ artificial intelligence applications to develop the reading and writing skills for kindergarten children with learning disabilities as shown in table (8). 8) that there are statistically significant differences at the level of 0.01 between the mean of children's scores of the experimental and controlling groups in the post-test of after using artificial intelligence applications to develop the reading and writing skills for kindergarten children with learning disabilities on the following scale.…”

Percepción del tiempo y detección del cambio: estudios meta-analíticos, diseño y pilotaje de un paradigma conductual

“…Ghazaly et al ( 2021) encontraron que las habilidades de memoria de trabajo mostraron una fuerte relación positiva con las habilidades de discriminación del habla que depende de la discriminación de tono. Lu et al (2020) mencionan que la identificación del tono es importante en el proceso de retroalimentación auditiva al percibir el habla y calibrar la comprensión del lenguaje. Møller et al (2018) observaron que las señales visuales mejoraron significativamente la discriminación del tono, lo cual implica que hay relación entre estos procesos.…”
