The present study investigated the nature of visual spatial attention deficits in adults with
developmental dyslexia, using a partial report task with five-letter, digit, and symbol strings …

Attention is a neurocognitive process composed by subprocesses located in several brain
areas and controlled by specific neurotransmitters (Petersen & Posner, 2012). This process …

Difficulties in visual attention are increasingly being linked to dyslexia. To date, the majority
of studies have inferred functionality of attention from response times to stimuli presented for …

Individuals with developmental dyslexia have been characterized by problems with
attentional orienting. In the current study, we specifically focused on possible changes in …

Dyslexia is a specific disorder in reading abilities. The aim of this study was to explore
whether a short visual attentional training could improve reading capabilities in children with …

This study investigated the gradient of visual attention in 21 children, 11 children with
specific reading disorder (SRD) or dyslexia and 10 children with normal reading skills. We …

Developmental dyslexia (DD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that affects
reading ability despite normal intelligence and education. In search of core deficits, previous …

Several authors have sought to use cues to assess visual spatial attention in connection with
dyslexia (eg, Brannan and Williams, 1987; Facoetti et al., 2000, 2003; Franceschini et al …

Although the dominant approach posits that developmental dyslexia arises from deficits in
systems that are exclusively linguistic in nature (ie, phonological deficit theory), dyslexics …

The aim of this study was to gain additional knowledge about the asynchrony phenomenon
in developmental dyslexia, especially when spatial selective attention is manipulated. Adults …
