Purpose: Abnormal exogenous attention orienting and diffused spatial distribution of
attention have been associated with reading impairment in children with developmental …

Although the dominant view posits that developmental dyslexia arises from a deficit in
phonological processing and memory, efficient phonological decoding requires precise …

Spatial attention performance was investigated in adults with dyslexia. Groups with and
without dyslexia completed literacy/phonological tasks as well as two spatial cueing tasks, in …

In the search for mechanisms that contribute to dyslexia, the term “attention” has been
invoked to explain performance in a variety of tasks, creating confusion since all tasks do …

Previous work has shown that inefficient attentional orienting is likely a causal factor for
dyslexia; however, the nature of this attentional dysfunction remains unclear. The process of …

We report results from two experiments assessing distribution of attention and cue use in
adults with dyslexia (AwD) and in a group of typically reading controls. Experiment 1 showed …

Considering basic visual decoding is the first step of reading, a growing group of studies
focused on the visual-spatial attentional processing of the dyslexics. Visual-spatial attention …

The cognitive causes as well as the neurological and genetic basis of developmental
dyslexia, a complex disorder of written language acquisition, are intensely discussed with …

Interacting with a cluttered and dynamic environment requires making decisions about
visual information at relevant locations while ignoring irrelevant locations. Typical adults can …

The present study investigated the spatial distribution of visual attention in dyslexic and
normally reading children. The performances of the two groups were investigated using two …
