Since the first reports of cases of developmental dyslexia at the beginning of the last century,
the challenge has been to understand why some children with otherwise normal intellectual …

Several studies have provided evidence for a phonological deficit in developmental
dyslexia. However, recent studies provide evidence for a multimodal temporal processing …

The present study explored the mediating effect of word detection on the relationship
between visual-spatial attention and reading comprehension in Chinese. The participants …

Background Many research has demonstrated that reading problems, such as dyslexia, can
coexist with visual abnormalities. While remediation for phonological impairments in …

Although the dominant view posits that developmental dyslexia arises from a deficit in
phonological processing and memory, efficient phonological decoding requires precise …

It has been suggested that orthographic transparency and age changes may affect the
relationship between visual attention span (VAS) deficit and reading difficulty. The present …

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 …

Two different forms of parafoveal dysfunction have been hypothesized as core deficits of
dyslexic individuals: reduced parafoveal preview benefits (“too little parafovea”) and …

Background Reading activity involves visual processing in nature. Compared with hearing
people, visual processing may be more critical for deaf people. However, much less …

This study explores a proposition that individuals with dyslexia develop enhanced
peripheral vision to process visual–spatial information holistically. Participants included 18 …
