Background There is emerging evidence that individuals with developmental dyslexia show
deficits in visual–spatial attention. This study focused on visual searches and examined …

Attention has been hypothesized to act as a sequential gating mechanism for the orderly
processing of letters and words. These same visuoattentional processes are often assumed …

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 …

Background Developmental dyslexia (DD) is a disorder in which children with normal
intelligence and sensory abilities show learning deficits in reading. Abnormal eye …

Dyslexia is characterised by poor reading ability. Its aetiology is probably multifactorial, with
abnormal visual processing playing an important role. Among adults with normal reading …

It has been suggested that auditory and visual sequential processing deficits contribute to
phonological disorders in developmental dyslexia. As an alternative explanation to a …

Reading is a highly complex process in which integrative neurocognitive functions are
required. Visual-spatial abilities play a pivotal role because of the multi-faceted visual …

In order to test the hypothesis of attentional deficits in dyslexia, we investigated the
performance of children with developmental dyslexia on a number of visual search tasks …

Although emerging evidence suggests that developmental dyslexia shows deficits in visual-
spatial attention, previous studies have also confirmed that visual-spatial attention may be …

Some dyslexics cannot process multiple letters simultaneously. It has been argued that this
reduced visuo-attentional (VA) letter span could result from poor reading ability and …
