A temporal sampling framework for developmental dyslexia by Goswami, U. (2011). Trends Cogn. Sci. (Regul. Ed.) 15, 3–10. In a recent review, Usha Goswami outlined a central role for disordered processing of the rise times of acoustic signals in developmental dyslexia. This approach was placed within the context of amplitude modulation spectra in sounds and in neural oscillations, with an emphas...

The first reported case of develop mental dyslexia appeared in the British Medical Journal in 1896. Dr Pringle Morgan, a general practitioner, described a 14-year-old boy named Percy, who, despite being ‘bright and of average intelligence in conversation’, had been unable to learn to read. Specimens of Percy’s writing show many spelling errors characteristic of dyslexia (such as ‘carlfuly’ for ...

The present investigation tries to better understand potential association and causal relationship between phonological and postural impairment due to developmental dyslexia. The study included 50 boys with developmental dyslexia and selected on the basis of their overall reading difficulties, and 42 control boys. Body sway during a quite standing posture eye open and eye closed on a force plat...

Previous studies have shown that the development of morphological awareness and reading skills are interlinked. However, most focused on phonological as a risk factor for dyslexia, although there is considerable diversity in underlying causes this difficulty. Specifically, relationship between phonology, derivational morphology, dyslexia Finnish language remains unclear. In present study, we us...

Evidence suggests that sensitivity to coherent motion (CM) is related to reading, but its role in the etiology of developmental dyslexia remains unclear. In this longitudinal study, CM sensitivity was measured in 31 children at family risk for dyslexia and 31 low-risk controls. Children, diagnosed with dyslexia in third grade (mean age=8 years 3 months), demonstrated reduced CM sensitivity in k...

The cerebellar deficit hypothesis for developmental dyslexia claims that cerebellar dysfunction causes the failures in the acquisition of visuomotor skills and automatic reading and writing skills. In people with dyslexia in the alphabetic languages, the abnormal activation and structure of the right or bilateral cerebellar lobes have been identified. Using a typical implicit motor learning tas...

Developmental dyslexia is characterized by an unexpected difficulty in reading experienced by children and adults who otherwise possess the intelligence and motivation considered necessary for accurate and fluent reading. It represents one of the most common problems affecting children and adults; in the United States, the prevalence of dyslexia is estimated to range from five to 17 percent of ...
