Specific Reading Disability: Differences in Contrast Sensitivity as a Function of Spatial Frequency.
Peer reviewedLovegrove, W. J.; And Others – Science, 1980
Contrast thresholds for sine-wave gratings of spatial frequencies of 2, 4, 12, and 16 cycles per degree were determined for normal and disabled readers at a range of stimulus durations. The differences in sensitivity pattern across spatial frequencies was greatest at stimulus durations approximately equal to fixation durations during reading.…
