Visual attention matters during word recognition: A Bayesian modeling approach

T Phénix, É Ginestet, S Valdois, J Diard - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2025 - Springer
It is striking that visual attention, the process by which attentional resources are allocated in
the visual field so as to locally enhance visual perception, is a pervasive component of …

Influence of the visual attention span on child reading performance: a cross‐sectional study

ML Bosse, S Valdois - Journal of research in reading, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
The visual attention (VA) span deficit hypothesis was found successfully to account for
variability in developmental dyslexia (Bosse, Tainturier & Valdois, 2007). We conducted a …

New insights on developmental dyslexia subtypes: Heterogeneity of mixed reading profiles

R Zoubrinetzky, F Bielle, S Valdois - PloS one, 2014 - journals.plos.org
We examined whether classifications based on reading performance are relevant to identify

Neural dissociation of phonological and visual attention span disorders in developmental dyslexia: FMRI evidence from two case reports

C Peyrin, M Lallier, JF Demonet, C Pernet, M Baciu… - Brain and language, 2012 - Elsevier
A dissociation between phonological and visual attention (VA) span disorders has been

The phonological and visual basis of developmental dyslexia in Brazilian Portuguese reading children

GD Germano, C Reilhac, SA Capellini… - Frontiers in …, 2014 - frontiersin.org
Evidence from opaque languages suggests that visual attention processing abilities in
addition to phonological skills may act as cognitive underpinnings of developmental …

Orthographic learning during reading: the role of whole‐word visual processing

M Bosse, N Chaves, P Largy… - Journal of Research in …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
The self‐teaching hypothesis suggests that knowledge about the orthographic structure of
words is acquired incidentally during reading through phonological recoding. The current …

Role of the superior parietal lobules in letter-identity processing within strings: FMRI evidence from skilled and dyslexicreaders

C Reilhac, C Peyrin, JF Démonet, S Valdois - Neuropsychologia, 2013 - Elsevier
Traditionally, the ventral occipito-temporal (vOT) area, but not the superior parietal lobules
(SPLs), is thought as belonging to the neural system of visual word recognition. However …

A visual processing but no phonological disorder in a child with mixed dyslexia

S Valdois, D Lassus‐Sangosse, M Lobier - Dyslexia, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Poor parallel letter‐string processing in developmental dyslexia was taken as evidence of
poor visual attention (VA) span, that is, a limitation of visual attentional resources that affects …
