In this presentation, we report results from two different studies examining the theoretical account of low-level deficits in beat perception as an alternative explanation of developmental dyslexia in Greek, an orthographically consistent language.Study Ⅰ examines the relationship of amplitude rise time and frequency discrimination with measures of phonological processing, working memory, and reading fluency in a large unselected sample of 10-year-old children.Study Ⅱ examines the presence of beat perception deficits in children with dyslexia and their chronological age controls in ages 8 through 12.The results provide no evidence to support meaningful associations between beat perception tasks and reading or the theoretical account of beat perception deficits as a primary cause or contributing factor to dyslexia.Implications on the importance of auditory processing in reading in orthographically consistent languages are discussed.
