Developmental dyslexia: exploring how much phonological and visual attention span disorders are linked to simultaneous auditory processing deficits

M Lallier, S Donnadieu, S Valdois - Annals of dyslexia, 2013 - Springer

phonological disorders in developmental dyslexia. As an alternative explanation to a …

Dyslexia: a deficit in visuo-spatial attention, not in phonological processing

TR Vidyasagar, K Pammer - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2010 - cell.com
Developmental dyslexia affects up to 10 per cent of the population and it is important to
