Facial speech processing in children with and without dyslexia
Ann Dyslexia. 2021 Jun 11. doi: 10.1007/s11881-021-00231-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhat role does the presence of facial speech play for children with dyslexia? Current literature proposes two distinctive claims. One claim states that children with dyslexia make less use of visual information from the mouth during speech processing due to a deficit in recruitment of audiovisual areas. An opposing claim suggests that children with dyslexia are in fact reliant on such information in order to compensate for auditory/phonological impairments. The current paper aims at directly testing these contrasting hypotheses (here ...

The Effects of Automatic Spelling Correction Software on Understanding and Comprehension in Compensated Dyslexia: Improved Recall Following Dictation
Dyslexia is associated with difficulties in language‐specific skills such as spelling, writing and reading; the difficulty in acquiring literacy skills is not a result of low intelligence or the absence of learning opportunity, but these issues will persist throughout life and could affect long‐term education. Writing is a complex process involving many different functions, integrated by the working memory system; people with dyslexia have a working memory deficit, which means that concentration on writing quality may be detrimental to understanding. We confirm impaired working memory in a sample of university students...

‘Don’t let dyslexia hold you back’
In kindergarten, while other students were beginning to read books, Josh Thibeau was still learning the alphabet. “I thought, I can’t read so why even try. I thought it was a waste of time.”
Five to 17 percent of all children in the U.S. have developmental dyslexia. Josh is one of them.
Children with dyslexia — often caused by some difference in normal brain development and damage to the brain — have trouble with comprehension because they can’t read text accurately or fluently.
Josh, now 14, has four other siblings, three of whom also have dyslexia. “We are very fortunate because if Josh had been a first chi...

Verbal and Non ‐verbal Fluency in Adults with Developmental Dyslexia: Phonological Processing or Executive Control Problems?
The executive function of fluency describes the ability to generate items according to specific rules. Production of words beginning with a certain letter (phonemic fluency) is impaired in dyslexia, while generation of words belonging to a certain semantic category (semantic fluency) is typically unimpaired. However, in dyslexia, verbal fluency has generally been studied only in terms of overall words produced. Furthermore, performance of adults with dyslexia on non‐verbal design fluency tasks has not been explored but would indicate whether deficits could be explained by executive control, rather than phonological proce...

Semantics impacts response to phonics through spelling intervention in children with dyslexia
This study implicates that semantic stimulation could benefit the spelling development of children at risk for or with dyslexia.PMID:34156641 | DOI:10.1007/s11881-021-00233-1
