Sensitive and accurate pre-school screening for dyslexia remains a desired but unattained goal for applied dyslexia research. We argue that recent theoretical developments allied to recent technological developments make the search for a ‘Dyslexia Early Screening Test’ (DEST) both timely and feasible. Following a brief review of earlier studies we draw up a ‘requirements analysis’ for the DEST ...

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...

In the past 25 years, scientific understanding of dyslexia and other learning disabilities has seen rapid progress in domains involving definition and classification, neuropsychological correlates, neurobiological factors, and intervention. I discuss this progress, emphasizing the central organizing influence of research and theory on basic academic skills on identification and sampling issues....

Dyslexia occurs in all languages and is associated with a high level of social and psychological morbidity for the individual and their family; approximately 40-50% have persistent disability into adulthood.

Developmental dyslexia was investigated within a well-understood and fully specified computational model of reading aloud: the dual route cascaded model (DRC [Coltheart, M., Rastle, K., Perry, C., Langdon, R., & Ziegler, J.C. (2001). DRC: A dual route cascaded model of visual word recognition and reading aloud. Psychological Review, 108, 204-256.]). Four tasks were designed to assess each repre...
