Time course of neural entrainment to words. ITC estimates at the word frequency for each epoch over the first half of exposure within each group. Only the TDC group shows an increase in neural entrainment at the word frequency over time, characterized by an increase over the first phase of learning, followed by a leveling off. In contrast, the FXS group shows no clear evidence of an increase over time. Shaded regions indicate standard error of the mean, computed from the empirical data at each epoch within each group. Solid lines show model‐predicted marginal means (lines of best fit) across epochs for each group.

Neural Entrainment Reveals Impaired Statistical Learning in Children with Fragile X Syndrome

Children with Fragile X syndrome struggle more to process and recognize word patterns in speech. Scans show their auditory brain regions — specifically the primary auditory cortex — don’t sync with speech sounds as strongly as other children do.
