Spatial attention performance was investigated in adults with dyslexia. Groups with and
without dyslexia completed literacy/phonological tasks as well as two spatial cueing tasks, in …

Purpose: Abnormal exogenous attention orienting and diffused spatial distribution of
attention have been associated with reading impairment in children with developmental …

Traditionally, explanations of spatial cueing effects posit the operation of orienting
mechanisms that act to reposition the spatial locus of attention. This process is often viewed …

Interacting with a cluttered and dynamic environment requires making decisions about
visual information at relevant locations while ignoring irrelevant locations. Typical adults can …

Previous work has shown that inefficient attentional orienting is likely a causal factor for
dyslexia; however, the nature of this attentional dysfunction remains unclear. The process of …

Individuals with developmental dyslexia have been characterized by problems with
attentional orienting. In the current study, we specifically focused on possible changes in …

We assessed whether a group of adults with dyslexia showed impaired performance on
shifting visual spatial attention, as per Hari and Renvall's (2001) sluggish attentional shifting …

The present study investigated the nature of visual spatial attention deficits in adults with
developmental dyslexia, using a partial report task with five-letter, digit, and symbol strings …

In the search for mechanisms that contribute to dyslexia, the term “attention” has been
invoked to explain performance in a variety of tasks, creating confusion since all tasks do …

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 …
