The Euclidean-time hadronic current correlation functions, $G_P(\tau, T)$ and $G_V(\tau, T)$, of pseudoscalar and vector currents have recently been calculated in lattice simulations of QCD and have been used to obtain the corresponding spectral functions. We have used the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model to calculate such spectral functions, as well as the Euclidean-time correlators, and have made a comparison to the lattice results for the correlators. We find evidence for the type of temperature dependence of the NJL coupling parameters that we have used in previous studies of the mesonic confinement-deconfinement transition. We also see that the spectral functions obtained when using the maximum-entropy-method (MEM) and the lattice data differ from the spectral functions that we calculate in our chiral model. However, our results for the Euclidean-time correlators are in general agreement with the lattice results, with better agreement when our temperature-dependent coupling parameters are used than when temperature-independent parameters are used for the NJL model. We also discuss some additional evidence for the utility of temperature-dependent coupling parameters for the NJL model. For example, if the constituent quark mass at T=0 is $352 {MeV}$ in the chiral limit, the transition temperature is $T_c=208 {MeV}$ for the NJL model with a standard momentum cutoff parameter. (If a Gaussian momentum cutoff is used, we find $T_c=225 {MeV}$ in the chiral limit, with $m=368 {MeV}$ at T=0.) The introduction of a weak temperature dependence for the coupling constant will move the value of $T_c$ into the range 150-170 MeV, which is more in accord with what is found in lattice simulations of QCD with dynamical quarks.
