Dyslexic participants show intact spontaneous categorization processes.
30 Jul 2009 We examine the performance of dyslexic participants on an unsupervised categorization task against that of matched non-dyslexic control participants. Unsupervised categorization is a cognitive process critical for conceptual development. Existing ...
