An alternative theory holds that the meaning of words in Arabic is, rather, encoded in the ‘etymon’ comprising two unordered consonants of the root only. Results from a recent priming experiment have shown that the etymon induces strong morphological priming effects, supporting its morphological/...
Lexical knowledge also remains largely unaffected in the disorder, as evidenced by studies of receptive vocabulary (e.g., which present words to subjects and ask them to pick the correct meaning) (Richardson et al., 2004; Swan and Goswami, 1997). When deficits are found in tasks that probe...
It has been suggested that orthographic transparency and age changes may affect the relationship between visual attention span (VAS) deficit and reading difficulty. The present study explored the developmental trend of VAS in children with developmental dyslexia (DD) in Chinese, a logographic language ...
Visual processing is the first step required in reading and written words need to be visually perceived precisely in order for their sound and meaning to be accessed1. The visual magnocellular-dorsal (M-D) pathway is one of the (mainly) parallel processing streams in the primate visual system...
often typo, reading plus words, missing words, not understanding the meaning of the contents of the reading. We reviewed the progress in the researches on effects of gene, environment and gene-environment interaction on developmental dyslexia to provide references for future researches on developmental...
Developmental dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by an unexpected impairment in literacy acquisition leading to specific poor academic achievement and possible secondary symptoms. The multi-level framework of developmental dyslexia considers five levels of a causal pathway on which a given...
skills, or dyslexia (RD), would be classified as having a “specific learning disorder with mild impairment in reading.” Importantly, MD and RD are diagnosed separately, meaning there is no single classification for a combination of specific learning disorder with impairment in mathematics and ...
During the preschool and early school years spoken number–words and Arabic digits are taught and these verbal-symbolic representations acquire their meaning by being mapped onto the preverbal core systems. According to von Aster and Shalev (2007) the acquisition of the verbal-symbolic number system...

Typically, dyslexic children show deficits in phonological awareness [31], i.e., the capacity of manipulating and analyzing the sounds that constitute words, regardless of meaning [32]. Da Silva et al. [33] confirmed these findings independently of the language and orthographic system a child ac...
