Magnocellular visual function and children's single word reading
Recent research has shown that reading disabled children find it unusually difficult to detect flickering or moving visual stimuli, consistent with impaired processing in the magnocellular visual stream. Yet, it remains controversial to suggest that reduced visual sensitivity of this kind might affect children's reading. Here we suggest that when children read, impaired magnocellular function m...
متن کاملMagnocellular training improves visual word recognition
Current research has shown that basic visual networks, such as the magnocellular system, may play a crucial role in reading deficits related to dyslexia. The current study explored the relationship between magnocellular activity and reading abilities; we examined the hypothesis that a repeated usage of the magnocellular stream may improve reading by strengthening crucial neural pathways. Visual...
متن کاملMagnocellular reading and dyslexia
It is pointed out that the question of the potential role of magnocellular neurons in reading is distinctly separate from the question of whether or not a magnocellular deficit is the cause of dyslexia. These two issues should not be confused. With regard to the second, the data do not at present favor the hypothesis that dyslexia is the result of a magnocellular deficit.
متن کاملMagnocellular mediated visual-spatial attention and reading ability.
This study explores the relationship between attentional processing mediated by visual magnocellular (MC) processing and reading ability. Reading ability in a group of primary school children was compared to performance on a visual cued coherent motion detection task. The results showed that a brief spatial cue was more effective in drawing attention either away or towards a visual target in th...
