Extraordinary progress in functional brain imaging, primarily advances in functional magnetic resonance imaging, now allows scientists to understand the neural systems serving reading and how these systems differ in dyslexic readers. Scientists now speak of the neural signature of dyslexia, a singular achievement that for the first time has made what was previously a hidden disability, now visi...

Abstract Teacher’s evaluation of students is sometimes negatively affected by diagnostic labels. We explored such negative effects caused the labels “dyscalculia”, “dyslexia”, and “ADHD” in teacher students. In Experiment 1, we varied presence dyscalculia dyslexia label vignettes between participants. The but not had a effect on participant’s academic expectations. our preregistered 2, ADHD was...

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...

BACKGROUND Over the last ten years a considerable amount of literature has described the socio-emotional discomfort that is often associated with learning disorders at all ages, but a comprehensive review about internalizing symptoms in dyslexia is needed. DATA SOURCES Medical and psychological search engines (PubMed, PsychArticles and Academic Search Elite) were used to identify all those st...

To identify effective treatment for both the spelling and word decoding problems in dyslexia, 24 students with dyslexia in grades 4 to 9 were randomly assigned to treatments A (n=12) or B (n=12) in an after-school reading-writers' workshop at the university (thirty 1-h sessions twice a week over 5 months). First, both groups received step 1 treatment of grapheme-phoneme correspondences (gpc) fo...
