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 …

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 …

phonological deficit in alphabetic developmental dyslexia. Yet, this issue has never been …

There is strong converging evidence suggesting that developmental dyslexia stems from a
phonological processing deficit. However, this hypothesis has been challenged by the …

Dyslexic and control children were tested in a visuomotor attentional task, which provides
independent measures of the alerting, orienting and conflict components of the attentional …
