The Studies about Phonological Deficit Theory in Children with Developmental Dyslexia : Review
نویسنده
چکیده
Problem statement: Developmental Dyslexia (DD) or Reading Disability (RD) that was part of a larger heterogeneous group of learning disorders and characterized by unexpected problems in academic performance, despite average intelligence. Approach: Current opinions on the biological basis of dyslexia pointed to problems with phonological processing deficits with resulting poor phonemic awareness. Though there was much support for this hypothesis in the scientific literature, there remained an ongoing debate as to whether the core deficit was in fact a more general information processing problem that involves phonological awareness, phonological short-term memory, phonological re/de-coding (Rapid Automatized Naming, RAN). Results: Also double deficit hypothesis proposed that the dyslexic children impaired in word-identification accuracy or exhibiting slowly word decoding profile. Conclusion/Recommendations: The aim of this review was to present some of the most exciting researches on DD in the domains of phonological deficit theory that those will help future studies to follow.

Phonology, phonetics, and temporal processing in developmental dyslexia:
Evidence of a phonological deficit as a cause of developmental dyslexia has been accumulating largely in the last two decades, yet the mechanisms underlying this deficit remain controversial. Some authors assume that a temporal processing deficit is the source of the phonological disorder observed in dyslexic children. Others maintain that the phonological deficit in dyslexia is basically lingu...
متن کاملThe cognitive deficits responsible for developmental dyslexia: review of evidence for a selective visual attentional disorder.
There is strong converging evidence suggesting that developmental dyslexia stems from a phonological processing deficit. However, this hypothesis has been challenged by the widely admitted heterogeneity of the dyslexic population, and by several reports of dyslexic individuals with no apparent phonological deficit. In this paper, we discuss the hypothesis that a phonological deficit may not be ...
متن کاملOutstanding questions about phonological processing in dyslexia.
It is widely accepted that developmental dyslexia results from some sort of phonological deficit. Yet, it can be argued that phonological representations and their processing have been insufficiently tested in dyslexia research. Firstly, claims about how tasks tap into certain kinds of representations or processes are best appreciated in the light of an explicit information-processing model. He...
متن کاملDevelopmental dyslexia: the visual attention span deficit hypothesis.
The visual attention (VA) span is defined as the amount of distinct visual elements which can be processed in parallel in a multi-element array. Both recent empirical data and theoretical accounts suggest that a VA span deficit might contribute to developmental dyslexia, independently of a phonological disorder. In this study, this hypothesis was assessed in two large samples of French and Brit...
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...
