The visual attention span (VAS) deficit hypothesis in developmental dyslexia posits that a
subset of dyslexic individuals shows a multielement parallel processing deficit due to …

The visual attention span (VAS) deficit theory of developmental dyslexia (DD) indicates that
impaired VAS may cause reading disabilities. However, whether people with dyslexia have …

The processing of letters within strings is challenging for beginning readers. Letter
identification is affected by visual similarity, loss of information with eccentricity and …

A wide share of secondary school children does not reach the expected competence level in
reading. These children could benefit from more efficient intervention responses, providing a …

Neuroimaging studies have identified the superior parietal lobules bilaterally as the neural
substrates of reduced visual attention (VA) span in developmental dyslexia. It remains …

In this paper, we discuss the problematic use of the term dyslexia. Noting that there are no
unambiguous objective diagnostic criteria for 'dyslexia', in part because this term is …

Categorical perception of phonemes and visual attention span are cognitive processes that
contribute independently to poor reading skills in developmental dyslexia. We here explored …

The association between visual attention and reading development has been investigated
as a possible core causal deficit in dyslexia, in addition to phonological awareness. This …

Developmental dyslexia is a reading disorder characterized by problems in accurate or
fluent reading. A deficiency in phonological processing is thought to underpin the reading …

Crowding, the inability to recognize objects in clutter, is known to play a role in
developmental changes in reading speed. Here, we investigated whether crowding also …
