Sound can improve visual search in developmental dyslexia

L de Boer-Schellekens, J Vroomen - Experimental brain research, 2012 - Springer
We examined whether developmental dyslexic adults suffer from sluggish attentional shifting
(SAS; Hari and Renvall in Trends Cogn Sci 5: 525–532, 2001) by measuring their shifting of …

[HTML][HTML] Investigating the role of visual and auditory search in reading and developmental dyslexia

M Lallier, S Donnadieu, S Valdois - Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2013 - frontiersin.org
It has been suggested that auditory and visual sequential processing deficits contribute to
phonological disorders in developmental dyslexia. As an alternative explanation to a …

Impaired filtering of behaviourally irrelevant visual information in dyslexia

NW Roach, JH Hogben - Brain, 2007 - academic.oup.com
A recent proposal suggests that dyslexic individuals suffer from attentional deficiencies,
which impair the ability to selectively process incoming visual information. To investigate this …

[HTML][HTML] Adults with dyslexia can use cues to orient and constrain attention but have a smaller and weaker attention spotlight

E Moores, E Tsouknida, C Romani - Vision research, 2015 - Elsevier
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 …

Dyslexia and attentional shifting

G Stoet, H Markey, B López - Neuroscience letters, 2007 - Elsevier
Dyslexia is a neurocognitive deficit primarily expressed in reading difficulties, but also
affecting non-linguistic performance. Several studies report that dyslexics perform differently …

Attentional modulation of visual processing in adult dyslexia: a spatial-cuing deficit

NW Roach, JH Hogben - Psychological Science, 2004 - journals.sagepub.com
A number of researchers have suggested that deficient visual attention may play a causal
role in dyslexia. However, traditional methods for investigating this assertion have been …

Auditory and visual automatic attention deficits in developmental dyslexia

A Facoetti, ML Lorusso, P Paganoni, C Cattaneo… - Cognitive brain …, 2003 - Elsevier
Several studies have provided evidence for a phonological deficit in developmental
dyslexia. However, recent studies provide evidence for a multimodal temporal processing …

Visual attention in adults with developmental dyslexia: evidence from manual reaction time and saccade latency

J Judge, M Caravolas, PC Knox - Cognitive Neuropsychology, 2007 - Taylor & Francis
Two studies were conducted to investigate visual attention deficits in dyslexia. In Experiment
1, adults with dyslexia and age-and IQ-matched controls completed a simple cueing task; …

[HTML][HTML] Adults with dyslexia exhibit large effects of crowding, increased dependence on cues, and detrimental effects of distractors in visual search tasks

E Moores, R Cassim, JB Talcott - Neuropsychologia, 2011 - Elsevier
Difficulties in visual attention are increasingly being linked to dyslexia. To date, the majority
of studies have inferred functionality of attention from response times to stimuli presented for …

Adults with dyslexia show deficits on spatial frequency doubling and visual attention tasks

J Buchholz, E McKone - Dyslexia, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
We examine the visual processing of high‐functioning adults with developmental dyslexia
(mean Performance IQ= 126.5) and current phonological problems. In comparison to an age …
