Cronin, Virginia S. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2013
Lervag and Hulme’s neuro-developmental theory and Wolf and Bowers’s double-deficit hypothesis were examined in this longitudinal study. A total of 130 children were tested in preschool and followed through fifth grade, when 84 remained in the study. During preschool and kindergarten the participants were given tests of end-sound discrimination…

Solan, Harold A.; Shelley-Tremblay, John F.; Hansen, Peter C.; Larson, Steven – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2007
The authors examined the relationships between reading comprehension, visual attention, and magnocellular processing in 42 Grade 7 students. The goal was to quantify the sensitivity of visual attention and magnocellular visual processing as concomitants of poor reading comprehension in the absence of either vision therapy or cognitive…

Tiu, Rolando D., Jr.; Thompson, Lee A.; Lewis, Barbara A. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2003
This study tested the role of visual processing speed and IQ in reading with 124 children either with or without reading disability. Results indicated that processing speed explains a significant amount of variance in reading comprehension, as does IQ. Path analyses indicated that the effect of IQ on reading is partially mediated by decoding in…

Payne, M. Carr, Jr.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1980
Findings suggested that a deficit in auditory memory rather than cross-modal perception appears to be a factor in poor reading comprehension. (Author/DLS)

O'Connor, Peter D.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1990
Reading-disabled children (n=92) were classified as either scotopic or nonscotopic using the Irlen Differential Perceptual Schedule. Use of either colored or clear overlays over reading material resulted in improved reading rate, accuracy, and comprehension when scotopic children read with the preferred colored overlay filter. Nonscotopic children…

Samuels, S. Jay – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1987
A major focus in reading difficulty is lack of automaticity in decoding, which overloads the attentional system, leads to the use of small, meaningless visual processing units such as the individual letter, places heavy demands on short-term memory, and interferes with comprehension. Techniques for diagnosis and remediation are noted. (Author/JW)

Solan, Harold A.; Shelley-Tremblay, John; Ficarra, Anthony; Silverman, Michael; Larson, Steven – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2003
This study quantified the influence of visual attention therapy on the reading comprehension of 30 6th-grade children with moderate reading disabilities (RD). Experimental subjects received 12 one-hour sessions of individually monitored, computer-based attention therapy programs. After 12 weeks, the experimental subjects, but not the controls,…
