Purpose: Developmental dyslexia is proposed to involve selective procedural memory deficits with intact declarative memory. Recent research in the domain of category learning has demonstrated that adults with dyslexia have selective deficits in Information-Integration (II) category learning that is proposed to rely on procedural learning…

The present study examined whether temporal processing (TP) is associated with reading of a non-alphabetic script, that is, Chinese. A total of 126 primary school-aged Chinese children from Taiwan (63 children with dyslexia) completed cross-modal, visual, and auditory temporal order judgment tasks and measures of Chinese reading and…

Notes that since acquisition and utilization of multimodal and crossmodal information analysis seem to develop greatly during the two through four year age period in humans, it might be possible to identify potential dyslexics by early testing the adequacy of those functions. Limitations on the number of concepts that can be handled simultaneously…

Listening was found to be a potential avenue for learning content area material. Further, findings underscore the value of a response format that minimizes involvement of expressive language in severely disabled students with identifiable expressive language difficulties. (Author)

Thirty students with dyslexia (mean age 13.5), 30 readers without disabilities, and 30 younger readers (mean age 8.9) were assessed to test the validity of the Reading Style Inventory (RSI). The RSI was not able to accurately profile children with dyslexia in terms of their cerebral hemisphere preferences. (CR)
