On the Anglocentricities of current reading research and practice: the perils of overreliance on an" outlier" orthography.
DL Share - Psychological bulletin, 2008 - psycnet.apa.org
In this critique of current reading research and practice, the author contends that the extreme
ambiguity of English spelling-sound correspondence has confined reading science to an …

Writing system variation and its consequences for reading and dyslexia
PT Daniels, DL Share - Scientific Studies of Reading, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
Most current theories of reading and dyslexia derive from a relatively narrow empirical base:
research on English and a handful of other European alphabets. Furthermore, the two …

Auditory processing deficits in dyslexia: task or stimulus related?
The nature of the fundamental deficit underlying reading disability is the subject of a long-
standing debate. We previously found that dyslexics with additional learning difficulties (D …

Poor frequency discrimination probes dyslexics with particularly impaired working memory
Substantial difficulties in performing simple auditory discriminations were previously found in
some individuals with a specific reading disability but not in others. This high variability in …

Reduced learning of sound categories in dyslexia is associated with reduced regularity-induced auditory cortex adaptation
A Gertsovski, M Ahissar - Journal of Neuroscience, 2022 - Soc Neuroscience
A main characteristic of dyslexia is poor use of sound categories. We now studied within-
session learning of new sound categories in dyslexia, behaviorally and neurally, using fMRI …
