It is well known from behavioural experiments that @entity1 with @entity10870 ( @entity10870 ) have difficulties discriminating consonant-vowel (CV) syllables such as /ba/, /da/, and /ga/. @entity5527 ( @entity5527 ) is an auditory event-related potential component that represents the outcome of an automatic comparison process. It could, therefore, be a promising tool for assessing central auditory processing deficits for speech and non-speech stimuli in @entity1 with @entity10870 . @entity5527 is typically evoked by occasionally occurring 'deviant' stimuli in a sequence of identical 'standard' sounds. In this study @entity5527 was elicited using simple tone stimuli, which differed in frequency (1000 versus 1200 Hz) and duration (175 versus 100 ms) and to digitized CV syllables which differed in place of articulation (/ba/, /da/, and /ga/) in @entity1 with expressive and receptive @entity10870 and healthy control @entity1 (n=21 in each group, 46 males and 17 females; age range 5 to 10 years). Mean @entity5527 amplitudes between groups were compared. Additionally, the behavioural discrimination performance was assessed. @entity1 with @entity10870 had attenuated @entity5527 amplitudes to speech stimuli, but there was no significant difference between the two diagnostic subgroups. @entity5527 to tone stimuli did not differ between the groups. @entity1 with @entity10870 made more errors in the discrimination task, but discrimination scores did not correlate with @entity5527 amplitudes. The present data suggest that @entity1 with @entity10870 show a specific deficit in automatic discrimination of CV syllables differing in place of articulation, whereas the processing of simple tone differences seems to be unimpaired.
