purpose. Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability characterized by difficulties with
reading, spelling, and writing. Persons with dyslexia often have deficits in processing rapid …

Developmental dyslexia is often characterized by a visual deficit, but the nature of this
impairment and how it relates to reading ability is disputed (Brain 2003; 126: 841–865). In …

Processing speed deficits along with phonological awareness deficits have been identified
as risk factors for dyslexia. This study was designed to examine the behavioral profiles of …

The goal of this study was to explore the latency of eye movements both in direction and in
depth in dyslexic children. Sixteen dyslexic (mean age: 11.12±1.08 years) and 14 non …

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 …

A large body of data suggests that phonological deficits play an important causal role in
dyslexics' reading difficulties. The functional role of visual impairments is still highly debated …

Poor phonological processing has typically been considered the main cause of dyslexia.
However, visuo‐attentional processing abnormalities have been described as well. The goal …

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 …

The visual attention (VA) span deficit hypothesis was found successfully to account for
variability in developmental dyslexia (Bosse, Tainturier & Valdois, 2007). We conducted a …

Dyslexia and attentional difficulty have often been linked, but little is known of the nature of
the supposed attentional disorder. The Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART; …
