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 …

A large body of data suggests that phonological deficits play an important causal role in
dyslexics' reading difficulties. The functional role of visual impairments is still highly debated …

Previous research suggests that children with developmental dyslexia have low-level visual
and auditory deficits. The present study further examines these proposed deficits and how …

Dyslexic individuals show subtle impairments in naming pictures of objects in addition to
their difficulties with reading. The present study investigated whether word reading and …

What are the causes of dyslexia? Decades of research reflect a determined search for a
single cause where a common assumption is that dyslexia is a consequence of problems …

Some research on developmental dyslexia focuses on linguistic abnormalities such as poor
reading of nonwords or poor reading of exception words. Other research focuses on visual …

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

We report a study that investigated the widely held belief that naming-speed deficits in
developmental dyslexia reflect impaired access to lexical-phonological codes. To …

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