• Enhancement of brain event-related potentials to speech sounds is associated with compensated reading skills in dyslexic children with familial risk for dyslexia 

  Lohvansuu, Kaisa; Hämäläinen, Jarmo; Tanskanen, Annika; Ervast, Leena; Heikkinen, Elisa; Lyytinen, Heikki; Leppänen, Paavo H.T. (Elsevier; International Organization of Psychophysiology, 2014)

  Specific reading disability, dyslexia, is a prevalent and heritable disorder impairing reading acquisition characterized by a phonological deficit. However, the underlying mechanism of how the impaired phonological processing ...

• Neural phoneme discrimination in variable speech in newborns : Associations with dyslexia risk and later language skills 

  Virtala, P.; Kujala, T.; Partanen, E.; Hämäläinen, J. A.; Winkler, I. (Elsevier BV, 2023)

  A crucial skill in infant language acquisition is learning of the native language phonemes. This requires the ability to group complex sounds into distinct auditory categories based on their shared features. Problems in ...

• An extensive pattern of atypical neural speech-sound discrimination in newborns at risk of dyslexia 

  Thiede, Anja; Virtala, Paula; Ala-Kurikka, Iina; Partanen, Eino; Huotilainen, Minna; Mikkola, Kaija; Leppänen, Paavo H.T.; Kujala, Teija (Elsevier Ireland Ltd., 2019)

  Objective: Identifying early signs of developmental dyslexia, associated with deficient speech-sound processing, is paramount to establish early interventions. We aimed to find early speech-sound processing deficiencies ...

• Brain responses to speech sounds in infants and children with and without familial risk for dyslexia 

  Lohvansuu, Kaisa (University of Jyväskylä, 2015)

  Dyslexia, a specific reading disability, runs in families. Therefore, the risk for a child to become dyslexic increases multifold if reading difficulties occur in the family. One risk factor for dyslexia is a deficit in ...

• Unveiling the Mysteries of Dyslexia : Lessons Learned from the Prospective Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Dyslexia 

  Lohvansuu, Kaisa; Torppa, Minna; Ahonen, Timo; Eklund, Kenneth; Hämäläinen, Jarmo A.; Leppänen, Paavo H. T.; Lyytinen, Heikki (MDPI AG, 2021)

  This paper reviews the observations of the Jyväskylä Longitudinal Study of Dyslexia (JLD). The JLD is a prospective family risk study in which the development of children with familial risk for dyslexia (N = 108) due to ...
