Applying cognitive neuropsychological principles to the rehabilitation of Spanish readers with acquired dyslexia.

24 Aug 2009 Cognitive neuropsychological models (CNMs) have been useful to generate a theory of aphasia rehabilitation. In contrast to the traditional syndrome approach, CNMs employ cognitive accounts to interpret language disturbances after brain damage. In ... Read more...

Early home-based intervention in the Netherlands for children at familial risk of dyslexia.

30 Jul 2009 Dutch children at higher familial risk of reading disability received a home-based intervention programme before formal reading instruction started to investigate whether this would reduce the risk of dyslexia. The experimental group (n=23) received ... Read more...

Computer-based training with ortho-phonological units in dyslexic children: new investigations.

30 Jul 2009 This study aims to show that training using a computer game incorporating an audio-visual phoneme discrimination task with phonological units, presented simultaneously with orthographic units, might improve literacy skills. Two experiments were ... 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)
