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; …

Poor phonological processing has typically been considered the main cause of dyslexia.
However, visuo‐attentional processing abnormalities have been described as well. The goal …

Orienting and focusing of visual attention are two processes strictly involved in reading. They
were studied in a group of dyslexic children and normal readers. Shifting of attention by both …

During parafoveal processing, skilled readers encode letter identity independently of letter
position (Johnson et al., 2007). In the current experiment, we examined orthographic …

The role of attention in visual word recognition and reading aloud is a long debated issue.
Studies of both developmental and acquired reading disorders provide growing evidence …

This study investigated the gradient of visual attention in 21 children, 11 children with
specific reading disorder (SRD) or dyslexia and 10 children with normal reading skills. We …

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 …

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

Dyslexia (D) is a neurodevelopmental reading disorder characterized by phonological and
orthographic deficits. Before phonological decoding, reading requires a specialized …

This study was designed to investigate the importance of spatial encoding in reading, with
particular emphasis on visuo‐spatial encoding mechanisms. Thirty one school children …
