The Association of Rapid Temporal Perception with Orthographic and Phonological Processing in Children and Adults with Reading Impairment.

Supports a differential development model of reading disability that argues deficits in rapid auditory ability in children are primarily associated with problems in phonological processing, whereas deficits in rapid visual ability in children are primarily associated with problems in orthographic processing; and, for adults, continued deficits in auditory ability may have a pervasive and negative impact on word processing in general.
