Editorial: Understanding Developmental Dyslexia: Linking Perceptual and Cognitive Deficits to Reading Processes
The problem of causation has proven particularly elusive in the case of developmental dyslexia (DD). The field has been dominated by very general hypotheses, such as the idea that DD is caused by a phonological deficit and/or an impairment of the magnocellular pathway. Results are contrasting and causal unidirectional links have not been persuasively demonstrated. Some studies in the Research T...
متن کاملM-stream deficits and reading-related visual processes in developmental dyslexia.
Some visual processing deficits in developmental dyslexia have been attributed to abnormalities in the subcortical M stream and/or the cortical dorsal stream of the visual pathways. The nature of the relationship between these visual deficits and reading is unknown. The purpose of the present article was to characterize reading-related perceptual processes that may link the visual deficits to r...
متن کاملCrowding, reading, and developmental dyslexia.
We tested the hypothesis that crowding effects are responsible for the reading slowness characteristic of developmental dyslexia. A total of twenty-nine Italian dyslexics and thirty-three age-matched controls participated in various parts of the study. In Experiment 1, we measured contrast thresholds for identifying letters and words as a function of stimulus duration. Thresholds were higher in...
متن کاملTwo visual motion processing deficits in developmental dyslexia associated with different reading skills deficits.
Developmental dyslexia is associated with deficits in the processing of visual motion stimuli, and some evidence suggests that these motion processing deficits are related to various reading subskills deficits. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying such associations. This study lays a richer groundwork for exploration of such mechanisms by more comprehensively and rigorously ...
متن کاملSchizophrenia: Cognitive Deficits and Perceptual Deficits
Schizophrenia is a complex and severe mental disorder that affects about 1% of the population, clinically characterized by positive, negative, and disorganized symptoms. It is widely accepted that a combination of genetic and environmental factors lead to the onset of schizophrenia. The past two decades have witnessed the increasingly important role of cognitive deficits in schizophrenia, such ...
