Learning Disabilities, Dyslexia, and Vision
|
|
Learning disabilities constitute a diverse group of disorders in which children who generally possess at least average intelligence have problems processing information or generating output. Their etiologies are multifactorial and reflect genetic influences and dysfunction of brain systems. Reading disability, or dyslexia, is the most common learning disability. It is...

Children with dyslexia reveal abnormal native language representations: Evidence from a study of mismatch negativity

AbstractAlthough a deficit perceiving phonemes, as indexed by the mismatch negativity (MMN), is apparent in developmental dyslexia (DD), studies have not yet addressed whether this deficit might be a result of deficient native language speech representations. The present study examines how a nativeâ€vowel prototype and an atypical vowel are discriminated...

Authors: Czamara D, Bruder J, Becker J, Bartling J, Hoffmann P, Ludwig KU, Müller-Myhsok B, Schulte-Körne G It has been repeatedly shown that mismatch negativity (MMN), an event related potential measurement, reveals differences between dyslexic children and age-matched controls. MMN reflects the automatic detection of deviance between a stream of...

A temporal sampling framework for developmental dyslexia.

Authors: Goswami U Neural coding by brain oscillations is a major focus in neuroscience, with important implications for dyslexia research. Here, I argue that an oscillatory 'temporal sampling' framework enables diverse data from developmental dyslexia to be drawn into an integrated theoretical framework. The core deficit in dyslexia is phonological....

Authors: Jiménez-Fernández G, Vaquero JM, Jiménez L, Defior S Dyslexia is a specific learning disability characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling abilities. The absence of other high level cognitive deficits in the dyslexic population has led some authors to propose that non-strategical processes...

Global processing speed in children with low reading ability and in children and adults with typical reading ability: exploratory factor analytic models.

CONCLUSIONS: The speed dimension was observed independently of participant cohort, sex, and reading ability. Results are consistent with a unified theory of processing speed as a quadratic function of age in typical development and with slowed processing in poor readers.

No evidence for a prolonged attentional blink in developmental dyslexia
|
|
Abstract: When two targets are presented within 500msec of each other in rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP), the accuracy of second target identification is significantly reduced; a phenomenon termed the attentional blink. Recent studies have reported that children and adults with dyslexia exhibit deficits tied to the attentional blink; however,...

Authors: Buonincontri R, Bache I, Silahtaroglu A, Elbro C, Nielsen AM, Ullmann R, Arkesteijn G, Tommerup N Dyslexia is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders where likely many genes are involved in the pathogenesis. So far six candidate dyslexia genes have been proposed, and two of these were identified...

This study synthesizes 79 standardized mean-change differences between control and treatment groups from 17 independent studies, investigating the effect of morphological interventions on literacy outcomes for students with literacy difficulties. Average total sample size ranged from 15 to 261 from a wide range of grade levels. Overall, morphological instruction showed...

Reading disorders and weak Verbal IQ following left hemisphere stroke in children: No evidence of compensation

Abstract: Children who suffer a left-hemisphere (LH) stroke do not appear to experience the verbal deficits that are apparent in adults with similar lesions. To explain these findings it has been suggested that the plasticity of the developing brain enables homologous areas in the right hemisphere (RH) to compensate for...

CONCLUSIONS: Results underscore the importance of central auditory assessment for children with dyslexia. Further, the BioMARK may be useful in identifying children with central auditory dysfunction who would not have been identified using behavioral methods of (C)APD assessment.

Cross-linguistic neuroimaging and dyslexia: A critical view

Abstract: Recent neuro-cognitive theories of dyslexia presume that all dyslexics have the same type of brain abnormality irrespective of the particular writing system their language uses. In this article, we indicate how this presumption is inconsistent with cross-linguistic investigations of reading and dyslexia. There are two main issues. First, the...

Polygenic Heterogeneity: A Complex Model of Genetic Inheritance in Psychiatric Disorders

A polygenic/threshold model of psychiatric disorder was first introduced more than 40 years ago by Gottesman and Shields (). They proposed, following on from the seminal work of Falconer (), that what is inherited is not so much a disorder as a liability to disorder contributed to by multiple genetic and environmental...

Consistent with prior reports, CNTNAP5 deletion segregated with autism....

Study II examined the “temporal processing,â€...

Analysis of dyslexia candidate genes in the Raine cohort representing the general Australian population

Several genes have been suggested as dyslexia candidates. Some of these candidate genes have been recently shown to be associated with literacy measures in sample cohorts derived from the general population. Here, we have conducted an association study in a novel sample derived from the Australian population (the Raine cohort)...

Newborn brain event-related potentials revealing atypical processing of sound frequency and the subsequent association with later literacy skills in children with familial dyslexia

Abstract: The role played by an auditory-processing deficit in dyslexia has been debated for several decades. In a longitudinal study using brain event-related potentials (ERPs) we investigated 1) whether dyslexic children with familial risk background would show atypical pitch processing from birth and 2) how these newborn ERPs later relate...
