Background: The goal of this study was to investigate the automaticity/cerebellar theory of
dyslexia. We tested phonological skills and cerebellar function in a group of dyslexic 8–12 …

Developmental dyslexia is a heterogeneous syndrome with a phonological core deficit and
frequent association with other developmental disorders. Controversies exist about the …

In a previous study (AJ Fawcett, RI Nicolson, & P. Dean, 1996), the authors had found strong
behavioral evidence for cerebellar deficit in a panel of children with dyslexia. In the present …

Reading is mediated by parallel and widely distributed modular systems. There are,
therefore, multiple loci in these systems where dysfunction may lead to developmental …

Children with developmental dyslexia fail to develop age-appropriate reading skills despite
adequate intelligence and education. It has been suggested that dyslexics' various literacy …

It is now thought that the cerebellum is involved in the acquisition of “language dexterity” in

This study attempts to investigate the role of sensorimotor impairments in the reading
disability that characterizes dyslexia. Twenty‐three children with dyslexia were compared to …

A multiple case study was conducted in order to assess three leading theories of
developmental dyslexia:(i) the phonological theory,(ii) the magnocellular (auditory and …

Three groups of children with dyslexia (mean ages 8, 13, and 17 years) and three groups of
normally achieving children matched for age and IQ with the dyslexic groups undertook …
