Impaired neuronal timing in developmental dyslexia—the magnocellular hypothesis
J Stein, J Talcott - Dyslexia, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
Developmental dyslexia is not just a literacy problem. Dyslexics' reading and spelling
difficulties are but two of a much larger number of differences between dyslexic and normal …

The magnocellular deficit hypothesis in dyslexia: a review of reported evidence
JC Greatrex, N Drasdo - Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, 1995 - Elsevier
Many reports suggest that the majority of dyslexic children have a measurable disorder of
the fast processing pathway of the visual system. This pathway is believed to extend from the …

Visual search performance in dyslexia
J Iles, V Walsh, A Richardson - Dyslexia, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
According to the magnocellular theory of dyslexia, otherwise intelligent children may fail to
learn to read because of abnormalities in the magnocellular layers of the lateral geniculate …

On the prevalence of magnocellular deficits in the visual system of non-dyslexic individuals
J Skoyles, BC Skottun - Brain and language, 2004 - Elsevier
Numerous studies have found visual deficits associated with dyslexia. This has made it
important to understand how these deficits may be related to reading difficulties. A widely …

Towards an understanding of the role of the 'magnocellular advantage'in fluent reading
R Laycock, SG Crewther - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2008 - Elsevier
Reading disability is a relatively common developmental disorder, the aetiology of which is
clouded by conflicting theoretical approaches and the heterogeneity of the subtypes found …

Impaired visual search in dyslexia relates to the role of the magnocellular pathway in attention
TR Vidyasagar, K Pammer - Neuroreport, 1999 - journals.lww.com
WE tested the hypothesis that in a cluttered visual scene, the magnocellular (M) pathway is
crucial for focusing attention serially on the objects in the field. Since developmental …

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
understand its causes. It is widely assumed that phonological deficits, that is, deficits in how …

The spatial distribution of visual attention in developmental dyslexia
A Facoetti, P Paganoni, ML Lorusso - Experimental Brain Research, 2000 - Springer
The present study investigated the spatial distribution of visual attention in dyslexic and
normally reading children. The performances of the two groups were investigated using two …

Attention, reading and dyslexia
BC Skottun, JR Skoyles - Clinical and Experimental Optometry, 2006 - Taylor & Francis
It has been proposed that magnocellular deficits cause dyslexia through reduced attention.
