Background

Developmental Dyslexia (DD) has historically been associated with phonological impairments though difficulties may be identified across cognitive and sensorimotor domains. The Temporal Sampling Framework proposed that atypical neural entrainment to temporal structure may underlie difficulties beyond phonological impairments in DD. However, tempo differences are inconsistently reported in the literature, particularly for ecologically valid, spontaneous motor tasks.
