Brain Functions and Speech Perception in Infants at Risk for Dyslexia

A number of behavioral and event-related potential experiments assessing responses to speech sounds were run in the Jyvaskyla Longitudinal study of Dyslexia (JLD). In them infants with and without familial risk for dyslexia were compared. Several statistically significant differences were found already during first year of age.
