Synopsis

In recent years the main focus of research interest in developmental dyslexia has shifted away from remedial and paedogogic solutions, towards neurobiology, neuropsychology and linguistics. This book reflects the major advances in several different research areas on the neurological anomalies and functional deficits underlying developmental dyslexia. A number of the chapters provide new basic knowledge about language development, phonetics and phonology, brain mechanisms involved in information processing, and strategies of visual analysis in reading. They provide an important background for the chapter dealing more specifically with recent advances concerning the cognitive characteristics, deficits in linguistic ability and visuo-motor problems in individuals with specific developmental dyslexia. By bringing together research from several different disciplines it is hoped that new avenues of research and knowledge will be opened up for this specific learning disability, and that new, effective methods for diagnosis and remediation will follow. The book includes information on early developmental anomalies, hemispheric specialization, psycholinguistics, memory functions and visual analysis.
