Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between rhythm, preliteracy skills, and auditory processing in preschool children. Using a drumming task and frequency-following responses (FFRs), researchers analyzed data from over 150 preschoolers. Results showed that children who excelled at beat synchronization also scored higher on preliteracy measures and exhibited more robust FFRs, with less degradation in noisy conditions. These findings support the interconnectedness of rhythm, preliteracy, and auditory processing during early childhood.
