We present three lines of evidence indicating a low-level visual deficit in a large percentage
of specifically-disabled readers. This research is presented within the theoretical framework …

The present experiment investigated the popular view that reading disability is caused by
visual perceptual deficit. It was hypothesized that poor readers are able to process visual …

Abstract Lovegrove, Martin, and Slaghuis (1986) have argued that low-level visual deficits
may commonly be a cause of reading retardation in children. It is argued here that these …

The LaBerge and Samuels (1974) information processing model is used as a framework to
explain some aspects of reading disorder. According to the model, a major factor in reading …

This paper summarizes the experimental evidence for a transient system deficit in specific
reading disability. Differences have been found between controlled readers and specifically …

Visible persistence duration for sine-wave gratings was measured in 9-year-old normal and
specific-reading-disabled children. Experiment 1 investigated the influence of stimulus …

Conducted 2 experiments with 21 normal and 21 specific-reading-disabled readers (mean
age 14 yrs 3 mo). The Neale Analysis of Reading Ability revealed a mean reading lag of 4 …

Temporal contrast sensitivity for counterphase flicker was determined for specifically
disabled and normal readers to investigate whether the two groups differ in the functioning …

Recent research suggests that some children who are reading disabled exhibit sensory
deficits associated with poor temporal processing. The performance of disabled readers on …

Visual information store durations for sine-wave gratings were measured in normal and
disabled readers. At low spatial frequencies, disabled readers have significantly longer store …
