Dyslexia and Neurodevelopmental Pathology: Relationships to Cognition, Intelligence, and Reading Skill Acquisition.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hynd, George W.; Semrud-Clikeman, Margaret – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1989
The article addresses the neuroimaging, electrophysiological, and postmortem evidence concerning the neurological basis of dyslexia and concludes that inconsistent findings may be related to limitations of investigative technologies. Correlates of reading ability and disability are discussed in a developmental-neuropsychological context.…
