Dyslexia: Organic Versus Emotional Reactions The neurologist has a set of descriptive terms he applies to varying degrees of sensory and motor malfunctions such as acalculia, dyscalculia, agnosia, dysnosia, agraphia, dysgraphia, alexia, aphasia, and so forth. The educator sees some 15 percent of his pupils as having learning problems resulting from partial central nervous system dysfunction and...

Dyslexia is a specific form of learning disorder related to difficulty reading and in writing expression. Most dyslexia children show low ability overall phonological processing, leading slower development than other children. Therefore, intervention methods are needed that tailored the characteristics dyslexic children, one which flashcard medium with principle economic tokens. The purpose thi...

Research suggests that Virtual Reality has a key role in the development of new diagnostic tools in neuropsychology and shows great rehabilitative potentials for individuals with specific neurological, intellectual and cognitive disabilities. In the case of dyslexia, a neurodevelopmental reading disorder, the use of Virtual Reality technologies has only been recently documented in a handful of ...

The aim of our study was to analyze the functioning of various aspects of memory in adults with developmental dys lexia, as compared to adults without developmental dyslexia. Our research involved a total of 180 adults, mostly students and university graduates from the Tri-City metropolitan region in north central Poland. The criterion group consisted of 93 adults with developmental dyslexia, w...

Phase entrainment of neuronal oscillations is thought to play a central role in encoding speech. Children with developmental dyslexia show impaired phonological processing of speech, proposed theoretically to be related to atypical phase entrainment to slower temporal modulations in speech (<10Hz). While studies of children with dyslexia have found atypical phase entrainment in the delta band (...

Background. Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and specific learning difficulties (dyslexia) belong to the most frequently diagnosed developmental disorders in school-age children, and not infrequently cooccur. Linguistic functioning is one of the aspects of cognitive functioning in the cases of ADHA, dyslexia, or both disorders that presents a very diverse symptomatology. The aim ...

Dyslexia is a developmental learning disorder of single word reading accuracy and/or fluency, with compelling research directed towards understanding the contributions of the visual system. While dyslexia is not an oculomotor disease, readers with dyslexia have shown different eye movements than typically developing students during text reading. Readers with dyslexia exhibit longer and more fre...

Which children go on to develop dyslexia? Since dyslexia has a multifactorial etiology, this question can be restated as: what are the factors that put children at high risk for developing dyslexia? It is argued that a useful theoretical framework to address this question is Pennington's (2006) multiple deficit model (MDM). This model replaces models that attribute dyslexia to a single underlyi...

AIM To explore the effects of being dyslexic on the working lives of nurses and healthcare assistants (HCAs), and to identify what might be done to improve their working lives. METHOD A qualitative approach was taken comprising semi-structured interviews and interpretative data analysis. Seven nurses and HCAs took part in the study. FINDINGS Dyslexia affects each individual differently and ...
