Dyslexia: a new synergy between education and cognitive neuroscience.

15 Jul 2009 Reading is essential in modern societies, but many children have dyslexia, a difficulty in learning to read. Dyslexia often arises from impaired phonological awareness, the auditory analysis of spoken language that relates the sounds of language to ... Read more...

Neurophysiology in preschool improves behavioral prediction of reading ability throughout primary school.

5 May 2009 BACKGROUND: More struggling readers could profit from additional help at the beginning of reading acquisition if dyslexia prediction were more successful. Currently, prediction is based only on behavioral assessment of early phonological processing ... Read more...

Early predictors of reading in three groups of native Spanish speakers: Spaniards, Gypsies, and Latin Americans.

29 Apr 2009 The main purpose of the study reported here was to examine the early linguistic predictors of reading (e.g., Knowledge About Print, Listening Comprehension, Receptive Vocabulary, Rapid Naming of Objects and Letters, and Phonological Awareness), for ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Dyslexia'

Definition: A cognitive disorder characterized by an impaired ability to comprehend written and printed words or phrases despite intact vision. This condition may be developmental or acquired. Developmental dyslexia is marked by reading achievement that falls substantially below that expected given the individual's chronological age, measured intelligence, and age-appropriate education. The disturbance in reading significantly interferes with academic achievement or with activities of daily living that require reading skills. (From DSM-IV)
