Encoding of rapid time-varying information is impaired in poor readers
A characteristic set of eye movements and fixations are made during reading, so the position of words on the retinae is constantly being updated. Effective decoding of print requires this temporal stream of visual information to be segmented or parsed into its constituent units (e.g., letters or words). Poor readers' difficulties with word recognition could arise at the point of segmenting time...
متن کاملIs the perception of brightness different in poor readers?
The transient system deficit hypothesis (TSDH) of specific reading disability [Percept. Psychophys. 40 (1986) 440] remains contentious. As part of a study examining multiple measures of transient and sustained system function, heterochromatic flicker matching (HFM) and brightness matching (HBM) were assessed in 30 poor readers (9.11+/-0.68 years) and 30 age, grade and sex matched controls (9.24...
متن کاملImpaired encoding of rapid pitch information underlies perception and memory deficits in congenital amusia
Recent theories suggest that the basis of neurodevelopmental auditory disorders such as dyslexia or specific language impairment might be a low-level sensory dysfunction. In the present study we test this hypothesis in congenital amusia, a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by severe deficits in the processing of pitch-based material. We manipulated the temporal characteristics of audito...
متن کاملPhonological representations in poor readers
According to the ‘phonological deficit hypothesis’, problems in reading and spelling in dyslexic persons are due to poor representations of sounds in long term memory. As a result, the acquisition of the grapheme-phoneme correspondence and word decoding is assumed to be difficult. In this paper we describe a perception experiment to find evidence for poor phonological representations in 9-13 ye...
متن کاملVisual target detection is not impaired in dyslexic readers
In two previous studies we assessed a difficulty of dyslexic readers with letter string processing by using variants of the partial report paradigm, e.g., Averbach and Coriell [Averbach, E., & Coriell, A. S. (1961). Short-term memory in vision. Bell Systems Technical Journal, 40, 309-328] which requires report of a letter name in response to a position cue. The poor dyslexic performance was int...
