Disability of phonological versus visual information processes in Japanese dyslexic children
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyzed phonological and visual information processes of four Japanese dyslexic children between 710 years of age. None of them had disability in word retrieval and/or auditory memory. Two of them manifested lower score in phonological awareness tests while the others showed normal score. All children showed subnormal score in a visual cognitive test, a visuo-spacial constructional test, and a visual long-term memory test. 90 % of their errors were formal ones. As results, these four Japanese dyslexic children are thought to have disabilities in visual information processes and are thought to be of a different type from those reported as phonological dyslexia.

Altered brain activity for phonological manipulation in dyslexic Japanese children.
Because of unique linguistic characteristics, the prevalence rate of developmental dyslexia is relatively low in the Japanese language. Paradoxically, Japanese children have serious difficulty analysing phonological processes when they have dyslexia. Neurobiological deficits in Japanese dyslexia remain unclear and need to be identified, and may lead to better understanding of the commonality an...
متن کاملPhonological skills, visual attention span, and visual stress in developmental dyslexia.
In this study, we concurrently investigated 3 possible causes of dyslexia-a phonological deficit, visual stress, and a reduced visual attention span-in a large population of 164 dyslexic and 118 control French children, aged between 8 and 13 years old. We found that most dyslexic children showed a phonological deficit, either in terms of response accuracy (92.1% of the sample), speed (84.8%), o...
متن کاملDyslexia is more than a phonological disability
This article reports an extended ‘case series’ of studies comparing performance of three age groups of dyslexic and matched control children on primitive skills. The dyslexic children showed deficits in most of the skills, with fundamental deficits (worse performance than reading age controls) on phonological skill, naming speed, bead threading, and on some balance tasks. Furthermore, there was...

Background: Comparison of verbal fluency is an important part of neuropsychology assessment that contributes to declaration and illumination of dyslexia. This research aims to compare the phonemic and semantic verbal fluency in dyslexic children. Methods: This study takes cause-comparison study approach. Using purposive sampling, 30 dyslexic children who visited a learning disability centers ...
متن کاملTARGET ARTICLE WITH COMMENTARIES AND RESPONSE The role of sensorimotor impairments in dyslexia: a multiple case study of dyslexic children
This study attempts to investigate the role of sensorimotor impairments in the reading disability that characterizes dyslexia. Twenty-three children with dyslexia were compared to 22 control children, matched for age and non-verbal intelligence, on tasks assessing literacy as well as phonological, visual, auditory and motor abilities. The dyslexic group as a whole were significantly impaired on...
