Reading Disability : Methodological Problems in Information - Processing Analysis

neuropharmacologic function, but also because they might represent an unrecognized therapeutic problem. With the current tendency to shift patients in and out of institutional settings at frequent intervals, and with neuroleptic drug treatment often paralleling such a cycle, clinicians unwittingly may produce effects resembling those reported here, then treat them by raising the dose or adding ...

Reading disability: methodological problems in information-processing analysis.

Information Processing Correlates of Reading

Individual differences in reading correlate with individual differences in perception. in memory, and in other simple processes. This study measured these relationships using information processing tasks such as visual search. visual matching, and span of apprehen\ion; and using linguistic processing tasks such as word-nonword judgment, picture-sentence verification. and semantic Categorization...

Neurobiological studies of reading and reading disability.

UNLABELLED Evidence from neuroimaging studies, including our own, suggest that skilled 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 appears to be functionally disrupted in developmental dyslexia. Relative to non...

yslexia ( Specific Reading Disability )

onverging evidence from a number of lines of investigation indicates that dyslexia represents a disorder within the language system nd more specifically within a particular subcomponent of that system, phonological processing. Recent advances in imaging echnology, particularly the development of functional magnetic resonance imaging, provide evidence of a neurobiological signature or dyslexia, ...
