The visual attention span (VAS) deficit hypothesis in developmental dyslexia posits that a
subset of dyslexic individuals shows a multielement parallel processing deficit due to …

The visual attention span (VAS) deficit theory of developmental dyslexia (DD) indicates that
impaired VAS may cause reading disabilities. However, whether people with dyslexia have …

The visual attention (VA) span is defined as the amount of distinct visual elements which can
be processed in parallel in a multi-element array. Both recent empirical data and theoretical …

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 …

Background Visual attention span (VAS) refers to the number of visual elements processed
simultaneously in a multielement array. Yet, there are mixed findings regarding VAS deficit …

There is an ongoing debate whether an impairment of visual attentional functions constitutes
an additional or even an isolated deficit of developmental dyslexia (DD). Especially …

A visual attention span (VAS) deficit has been widely reported in the Developmental
Dyslexia (DD) literature, however, consensus regarding what underlies this problem and the …

Neuroimaging studies have identified the superior parietal lobules bilaterally as the neural
substrates of reduced visual attention (VA) span in developmental dyslexia. It remains …

The visual attention (VA) span deficit hypothesis of dyslexia posits that letter string deficits
are a consequence of impaired visual processing. Alternatively, some have interpreted this …
