Children with developmental dyslexia show a left visual “minineglect”

چکیده
We investigated the performance of children with developmental dyslexia on a visual line bisection task. Dyslexic children did not show the overestimation of the left visual field (pseudoneglect) characteristic of normal adult vision. These results suggest that children with developmental dyslexia present selective deficits in visual attention, probably involving neural structures located in the right posterior parietal cortex.

Tachistoscopic treatment of dyslexia changes the distribution of visual-spatial attention.
Twelve children with developmental dyslexia underwent a four-month treatment with tachistoscopic presentation of words, according to Bakker's methodology. One group received standard lateral presentation of words on a PC screen, while the other group received the same stimuli in random lateral position. The spatial distribution of visual attention was measured by means of the Form-Resolving Fie...
متن کاملAsymmetrical visual fields distribution of attention in dyslexic children: a neuropsychological study.
Visual spatial attention was evaluated in dyslexic and normally reading children by using a flanker task. When an irrelevant distractor is presented adjacent to a target stimulus, interference is observed when the two stimuli are associated with conflicting responses. In the present study the distractor flanked the target either to the right or to the left. Results showed an asymmetric flanker ...
متن کاملLeft minineglect or inverse pseudoneglect in children with dyslexia?
This study compared the visuospatial asymmetries in children with dyslexia and healthy children by using the manual line bisection task, and investigated the processing of spatial context with a 'local' cueing paradigm consisting of geometric symbols placed on the extremities of the lines. The performance between healthy children (leftward bias) and children with dyslexia (rightward bias) was s...
متن کاملLeft minineglect in dyslexic adults.
We searched for a core mechanism underlying the diverse behavioural and sensorimotor deficits in dyslexic subjects. In psychophysical temporal order judgement and line motion illusion tasks, adult dyslexics processed stimuli in the left visual hemifield significantly (approximately 15 ms) more slowly than normal readers, indicating a left-sided 'minineglect'. Furthermore, abrupt stimuli capture...
متن کاملThe left occipitotemporal system in reading: Disruption of focal fMRI connectivity to left inferior frontal and inferior parietal language areas in children with dyslexia
Developmental dyslexia is a severe reading disorder, which is characterized by dysfluent reading and impaired automaticity of visual word processing. Adults with dyslexia show functional deficits in several brain regions including the so-called "Visual Word Form Area" (VWFA), which is implicated in visual word processing and located within the larger left occipitotemporal VWF-System. The presen...
