Temporal Information Processing in the Nervous System: Special Reference to Dyslexia and Dysphasia

Recent research has shown that dyslexics and dysphasics exhibit a reduced brain capacity to process fast rates of information flow. This volume focuses on the neuronal mechanisms for rapid temporal information processing and the critical importance of timing in speech, language and reading. Sections are included on temporal features of language structure and language processing, auditory processing, visual processing and sensory-motor processing.
