There is strong converging evidence suggesting that developmental dyslexia stems from a
phonological processing deficit. However, this hypothesis has been challenged by the …

In recent years, limitations of the discrepancy definition of specific reading difficulties have
led researchers to propose that dyslexia is best described as a core phonological deficit …

In this study, we concurrently investigated 3 possible causes of dyslexia—a phonological
deficit, visual stress, and a reduced visual attention span—in a large population of 164 …

The present study describes two Frenchteenagers with developmental reading andwriting
impairments whose performance wascompared to that of chronological age andreading age …

Dehaene (in Reading in the Brain) reviews and finds support for the phonological deficit
hypothesis of developmental dyslexia, which proposes that dyslexics have a basic deficit in …

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 …

Dyslexia research now faces an intriguing paradox. It is becoming increasingly clear that a
significant proportion of dyslexics present sensory and/or motor deficits; however, as this …

This paper provides a selective review of data on phonology, audition, vision, and learning
abilities in developmental dyslexia, with a specific focus on patterns of normal alongside …

Despite recent developments in research and theory, investigators and practitioners
continue to rely on rather traditional definitions of dyslexia. This paper discusses some of the …

In the present chapter, we provide a selective review of research conducted over the past
two to three decades evaluating influential theories of the basic cause (s) of developmental …
