Bridging sensory and language theories of dyslexia: Toward a multifactorial model
Competing theories of dyslexia posit that reading difficulties arise from impaired visual,
auditory, phonological, or statistical learning mechanisms. Importantly, many theories posit …

Optimizing text for an individual's visual system: The contribution of visual crowding to reading difficulties
Reading is a complex process that involves low-level visual processing, phonological
processing, and higher-level semantic processing. Given that skilled reading requires …

Visual motion and decision-making in dyslexia: Reduced accumulation of sensory evidence and related neural dynamics
Children with and without dyslexia differ in their behavioral responses to visual information,
particularly when required to pool dynamic signals over space and time. Importantly …

Reduced structural connectivity between left auditory thalamus and the motion-sensitive planum temporale in developmental dyslexia
N Tschentscher, A Ruisinger, H Blank… - Journal of …, 2019 - Soc Neuroscience
Developmental dyslexia is characterized by the inability to acquire typical reading and

Meta‐analytic findings reveal lower means but higher variances in visuospatial ability in dyslexia
Conflicting empirical and theoretical accounts suggest that dyslexia is associated with either
average, enhanced, or impoverished high‐level visuospatial processing relative to controls …
