An accumulating body of evidence highlights the contribution of general cognitive
processes, such as attention, to language-related skills. Objective: The purpose of the …

Shifting of visual attention induced by peripheral cues was studied in 24 children with
specific reading disorder (SRD) or dyslexia and was compared with that of 19 normal …

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 …

The aim of this review is to provide a background on the neurocognitive aspects of the
reading process and review neuroscientific studies of individuals with developmental …

People with developmental dyslexia (DD) have been shown to be impaired in tasks that
require the processing of multiple visual elements in parallel. It has been suggested that this …

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 …

There is strong converging evidence suggesting that developmental dyslexia stems from a
phonological processing deficit. However, this hypothesis has been challenged by the …

Although the dominant view posits that developmental dyslexia arises from a deficit in
phonological processing and memory, efficient phonological decoding requires precise …

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

Both attentional difficulties and rapid processing deficits have recently been linked with
dyslexia. We report two studies comparing the performance of dyslexic and control …
