Transient Beneficial Effects of Excitatory Theta Burst Stimulation in a Patient with Phonological Agraphia after Left Supramarginal Gyrus Infarction
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Nardone, Raffaele; De Blasi, Pierpaolo; Zuccoli, Giulio; Tezzon, Frediano; Golaszewski, Stefan; Trinka, Eugen – Brain and Language, 2012
We report a patient showing isolated phonological agraphia after an ischemic stroke involving the left supramarginal gyrus (SMG). In this patient, we investigated the effects of focal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) given as theta burst stimulation (TBS) over the left SMG, corresponding to the Brodmann area (BA) 40. The patient…

Use of the Dichotic Listening Technique with Learning Disabilities
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Obrzut, John E.; Mahoney, Emery B. – Brain and Cognition, 2011
Dichotic listening (DL) techniques have been used extensively as a non-invasive procedure to assess language lateralization among children with and without learning disabilities (LD), and with individuals who have other auditory system related brain disorders. Results of studies using DL have indicated that language is lateralized in children with…

Event-Related EEG Oscillations to Semantically Unrelated Words in Normal and Learning Disabled Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Fernandez, Thalia; Harmony, Thalia; Mendoza, Omar; Lopez-Alanis, Paula; Marroquin, Jose Luis; Otero, Gloria; Ricardo-Garcell, Josefina – Brain and Cognition, 2012
Learning disabilities (LD) are one of the most frequent problems for elementary school-aged children. In this paper, event-related EEG oscillations to semantically related and unrelated pairs of words were studied in a group of 18 children with LD not otherwise specified (LD-NOS) and in 16 children with normal academic achievement. We propose that…

A Proposed Theoretical Model of Literacy Learning Using Multisensory Structured Language Instruction (MSLI)
Direct linkDirect link
Rusinko, Judith E. – ProQuest LLC, 2011
Multisensory Structured Language Instruction has been used for decades by clinicians and practitioners as an intervention for teaching students with dyslexia. Multisensory Structured Language Instruction uses the integration of multiple senses (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic/tactile) simultaneously to teach literacy. Although the anecdotal…

Dyslexia and the Brain: What Does Current Research Tell Us?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hudson, Roxanne F.; High, Leslie; Al Otaiba, Stephanie – Reading Teacher, 2007
Dyslexia is a disorder of the language-processing systems in the brain. It is a specific learning disability in reading that often affects spelling as well. This article describes: (1) Common characteristics experienced by people with dyslexia or reading disabilities; (2) Common misconceptions about dyslexia; (3) What brain research tell us about…

Neurolinguistic Organization in Learning Disabled Children and Adolescents: Some Evidence from Monaural, Verbal Reaction Time.
Rastatter, Michael P.; And Others – Learning Disabilities Research, 1990
Left versus right hemispheric auditory-verbal processing ability was studied in 28 learning-disabled children and adolescents, by measuring the influence on reaction time of the hand used to respond versus the hemisphere stimulated. The LD children did not develop the ability to suppress right hemisphere linguistic processes as a function of age.…
