Exploring individual differences in musical rhythm and grammar skills in school-aged children with typically developing language [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 A growing number of studies have shown a connection between rhythmic processing and language skill. It has been proposed that domain-general rhythm abilities might help children to tap into the rhythm of speech (prosody), cueing them to prosodic markers ...

Timing Deficits in ADHD: Insights From the Neuroscience of Musical Rhythm [PDF]
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2018 Everyday human behavior relies upon extraordinary feats of coordination within the brain. In this perspective paper, we argue that the rich temporal structure of music provides an informative context in which to investigate how the brain coordinates its ...

Neural Responses to Musical Rhythm in Chinese Children With Reading Difficulties [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 The perception of the musical rhythm has been suggested as one of the predicting factors for reading abilities. Several studies have demonstrated that children with reading difficulties (RD) show reduced neural sensitivity in musical rhythm perception ...

Musical rhythm abilities and risk for developmental speech-language problems and disorders: epidemiological and polygenic associations [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsImpaired musical rhythm abilities and developmental speech-language related disorders are biologically and clinically intertwined. Prior work examining their relationship has primarily used small samples; here, we studied associations at population-scale

Effects of a phonics-integrated music rhythm intervention on reading fluency and accuracy with children [PDF]
Frontiers in Human NeuroscienceIt is hypothesized that increasing literacy skills such as reading rate (fluency) and reading accuracy with children is possible through intentionally developed interventions focused on musical memory, timing, and production (e.g., clapping to a steady ...

Rhythm contour drives musical memory [PDF]
Future Directions of Music Cognition, 2021 Listeners' use of contour information as a basis for memory of rhythmic patterns was explored in two experiments. Both studies employed a short-term memory paradigm in which listeners heard a standard rhythm, followed by a comparison rhythm, and judged whether the comparison was the same as the standard. Comparison rhythms included exact repetitions of

A Dynamical, Radically Embodied, and Ecological Theory of Rhythm Development
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Musical rhythm abilities—the perception of and coordinated action to the rhythmic structure of music—undergo remarkable change over human development.

Rhythm but not melody processing helps reading via phonological awareness and phonological memory
Scientific Reports, 2022 Despite abundant evidence that music skills relate to enhanced reading performance, the mechanisms subtending this relation are still under discussion. The Temporal Sampling Framework (TSF) provides a well-defined explanation for the music-reading link ...
