Abstract

This paper focuses on the ability of children with dyslexia (~8;9) and TD children (~8;2) to repeat Lithuanian non-words. Research shows that dyslexic children have difficulties with phonological processing tasks, such as encoding phonological information, retaining it in VPSTM for a certain period, and retrieving it. The results of this study provide valuable insights into the phonological difficulties of dyslexic children and may contribute to the development of more effective support.
