Reading disorders and dyslexia
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We review current knowledge about the nature of reading development and disorders, distinguishing between the processes involved in learning to decode print, and the processes involved in reading comprehension. RECENT FINDINGS Children with decoding difficulties/dyslexia experience deficits in phoneme awareness, letter-sound knowledge and rapid automatized naming in the pres...
متن کاملMagnocellular reading and dyslexia
It is pointed out that the question of the potential role of magnocellular neurons in reading is distinctly separate from the question of whether or not a magnocellular deficit is the cause of dyslexia. These two issues should not be confused. With regard to the second, the data do not at present favor the hypothesis that dyslexia is the result of a magnocellular deficit.
متن کاملCrowding, reading, and developmental dyslexia.
We tested the hypothesis that crowding effects are responsible for the reading slowness characteristic of developmental dyslexia. A total of twenty-nine Italian dyslexics and thirty-three age-matched controls participated in various parts of the study. In Experiment 1, we measured contrast thresholds for identifying letters and words as a function of stimulus duration. Thresholds were higher in...
متن کاملReading, dyslexia and the brain
Background: Neuroimaging offers unique opportunities for understanding the acquisition of reading by children and for unravelling the mystery of developmental dyslexia. Here, I provide a selective overview of recent neuroimaging studies, drawing out implications for education and the teaching of reading. Purpose: The different neuroimaging technologies available offer complementary techniques f...
متن کاملFunctional neuroimaging studies of reading and reading disability (developmental dyslexia).
Converging evidence from a number of neuroimaging studies, including our own, suggest that fluent word identification in reading is related to the functional integrity of two consolidated left hemisphere (LH) posterior systems: a dorsal (temporo-parietal) circuit and a ventral (occipito-temporal) circuit. This posterior system is functionally disrupted in developmental dyslexia. Reading disable...
