Book Synopsis Oscillatory “Temporal Sampling” and Developmental Dyslexia: Towards an Over-Arching Theoretical Framework by : Usha Goswami
Download or read book Oscillatory “Temporal Sampling” and Developmental Dyslexia: Towards an Over-Arching Theoretical Framework written by Usha Goswami and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children with developmental dyslexia fail to acquire efficient reading and spelling skills despite adequate tuition and an absence of overt sensory and/ or neural deficits. Learning to read and spell requires linguistic skills, auditory skills and visual skills. Oscillatory 'temporal sampling' theory links the development of sensory and linguistic processes. The auditory system 'samples' acoustic information at different temporal rates, which for speech processing suggests that temporal information encoded by delta, theta and gamma oscillations is bound together in the final speech percept. Temporal sampling theory proposed a possible deficit in dyslexia in auditory sampling of the speech signal at syllable-relevant rates (< 10 Hz, delta and theta). This would hypothetically affect prosodic development prior to reading and syllable-based parsing, which would affect efficient linguistic skills and consequently reading development across languages. The visual system also samples information in the visuo-spatial field. In theory atypical visual oscillatory sampling could therefore be related to some of the visual features of developmental dyslexia. In this special issue, we bring together visual and auditory sensory processing studies around the general theme of oscillatory temporal sampling. Contributors were encouraged to discuss their findings within a temporal sampling perspective. The resulting studies cover a wide range of sensory processes, with findings both supporting and contradicting the theory. It is also important to note that studies covered a wide range of languages, and that the behavioural manifestations of a sampling impairment may differ both with language and over the course of development. Nevertheless, it is encouraging to see such diverse findings considered within a single theoretical framework, even if at the same time, it is apparent that an over-arching theoretical framework encompassing both visual and auditory deficits in dyslexia is yet to be achieved.

Book Synopsis Developmental Dysgraphia by : Brenda Rapp
Download or read book Developmental Dysgraphia written by Brenda Rapp and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-13 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to communicate with written language is critical for success in school and in the workplace. Unfortunately, many children suffer from developmental dysgraphia—impairment in acquiring spelling or handwriting skills—and this form of impairment has received relatively little attention from researchers and educators. This volume brings together, for the first time, theoretically grounded and methodologically rigorous research on developmental dysgraphia, presented alongside reviews of the typical development of spelling and writing skills. Leading experts on writing and dysgraphia shed light on different types of impairments that can affect the learning of spelling and writing skills, and provide insights into the typical development of these skills. The volume, which contributes both to the basic science of literacy and to the applied science of diagnosing and treating developmental dysgraphia, should interest researchers, educators, and clinicians. This book was originally published as a special issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology.

Book Synopsis Reading and Dyslexia by : Thomas Lachmann
Download or read book Reading and Dyslexia written by Thomas Lachmann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-28 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume a group of well-known experts of the field cover topics ranging from basic visual and auditory information processing to higher order cognition in reading and dyslexia, from basic research to remediation approaches and from well-established theories to new hypotheses about reading acquisition and causes for its failure. Reading is one of the most intriguing feats human evolution ever came up with. There is no evolutionary basis for reading as such; reading is secondary to language and the result of a complex skill acquisition at the end of which almost all pre-existing cognitive functions are mobilized. With the right instruction and practice most people learn this skill smoothly. Some, however, have problems, despite same opportunities and general cognitive abilities. This developmental dyslexia results from a neuro developmental disorder leading to deficits in reading relevant information processing. But what deficits are these, and can they be trained?

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Reading written by Alexander Pollatsek and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2015 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing is one of humankind's greatest inventions, and modern societies could not function if their citizens could not read and write. How do skilled readers pick up meaning from markings on a page so quickly, and how do children learn to do so? The chapters in the Oxford Handbook of Reading synthesize research on these topics from fields ranging from vision science to cognitive psychology and education, focusing on how studies using a cognitive approach can shed light on how the reading process works. To set the stage, the opening chapters present information about writing systems and methods of studying reading, including those that examine speeded responses to individual words as well as those that use eye movement technology to determine how sentences and short passages of text are processed. The following section discusses the identification of single words by skilled readers, as well as insights from studies of adults with reading disabilities due to brain damage. Another section considers how skilled readers read a text silently, addressing such issues as the role of sound in silent reading and how readers' eyes move through texts. Detailed quantitative models of the reading process are proposed throughout. The final sections deal with how children learn to read and spell, and how they should be taught to do so. These chapters review research with learners of different languages and those who speak different dialects of a language; discuss children who develop typically as well as those who exhibit specific disabilities in reading; and address questions about how reading should be taught with populations ranging from preschoolers to adolescents, and how research findings have influenced education. The Oxford Handbook of Reading will benefit researchers and graduate students in the fields of cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, education, and related fields (e.g., speech and language pathology) who are interested in reading, reading instruction, or reading disorders.
Book Synopsis Measuring Phonological Processing and Phonological Working Memory in Adults with Developmental Dyslexia by : Timothy W. Conway
Download or read book Measuring Phonological Processing and Phonological Working Memory in Adults with Developmental Dyslexia written by Timothy W. Conway and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Showed greater left parietal lobe (BA 40, 7, 39) activity during pseudoword segmenting. Experiment two's tasks (identifying two series of tones containing the same number of tones or identifying pairs of pseudowords with an identical number of phonemes), indicated greater left superior temporal gyrus (BA 42, 22) activity both during the dyslexic's pure tone comparison and phoneme comparison tasks, and greater supramarginal gyrus (BA 40) activity during their pseudoword segmenting. Both groups reported a primary strategy of auditory rehearsal and segmentation for both experiments' tasks. Overall, the AAMSP's predictions were not supported. However, the dyslexic's over-activity in primary auditory cortex for acoustic and phonological stimuli may indicate a principal deficit or inefficiency in primary auditory cortex. Inefficient processing in primary auditory cortex, regardless of the stimuli's temporal characteristics, may contribute to impaired analytic phonological awareness and phonological working memory abilities in DPD. The limitations of this study and the implications of these findings for empirically based treatments are discussed.
Book Synopsis Auditory Temporal Processing as a Specific Deficit Among Dyslexic Readers by : Leah Fostick
Download or read book Auditory Temporal Processing as a Specific Deficit Among Dyslexic Readers written by Leah Fostick and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study focuses on examining the hypothesis that auditory temporal perception deficit is a basic cause for reading disabilities among dyslexics. This hypothesis maintains that reading impairment is caused by a fundamental perceptual deficit in processing rapid auditory or visual stimuli. Since the auditory perception involves a number of mechanisms and temporal processing is only one of them, in the current paper, we tested, in addition to auditory temporal processing, also auditory intensity and spectral processing among dyslexic and normal readers. In addition, we examined whether poor performance of dyslexic readers in auditory temporal processing tasks results from a difficulty in working memory, by testing differences in auditory processing, controlling for working memory. Thirty-seven adult dyslexic readers and 40 adult normal readers performed a battery of tests measuring auditory temporal processing (gap detection and dichotic temporal order judgment), auditory intensity processing (absolute threshold and intensity discrimination), auditory spectral processing (spectral temporal order judgment) and working memory (backward digit span). Performance on auditory spectral and temporal processing task was poorer among dyslexic readers, as compared to normal readers, even after controlling for working memory, but no difference was found in intensity processing tasks. These results suggest that dyslexic readers exhibit a specific deficit in auditory temporal processing, which cannot be attributed either to general perceptual deficit in auditory processing, or to working memory.

Book Synopsis An Investigation of Auditory and Visual Temporal Processing in Children with Reading Disorders by : Lauren R. Smith
Download or read book An Investigation of Auditory and Visual Temporal Processing in Children with Reading Disorders written by Lauren R. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several lines of research have revealed a relationship between reading disorders (RD) and auditory temporal processing deficits. That is, subtle, yet rapid changes within an acoustic message are more difficult for individuals with RD to perceive than for those individuals with normal reading abilities, which negatively impacts accurate speech perception and, in turn, phonological processing and decoding abilities (Cestnick & Jerger, 2000; De Jong et al, 2000; Fink et al., 2006; Walker et al., 2006). However, researchers investigating a pansensory temporal processing deficit theory of RD have found conflicting evidence supporting the relationship between visual temporal processing and reading, specifically in regards to the magnocellular deficit theory of dyslexia (Chase & Jenner, 1993; Farmer & Klein, 1993; Lehmkuhle et al., 1993; Lovegrove, 1993). The purpose of the current study was to further investigate the relationship between pansensory processing deficits and subtypes of reading disorders. Participants included 27 children (ages 10-13) divided into three reading ability groups (i.e., normal reading, dysphonetic, and dysphoneidetic) based on performance the WRMT-R and Word/Nonword Test. Experimental tasks included gap detection, duration discrimination, and duration temporal order judgment tasks presented in both the auditory and visual modalities. When controlling for verbal ability (PPVT-IV), due to significant group differences, both RD groups (dysphonetic and dysphoneidetic deficits) demonstrated a poorer performance when compared to the control group on both the within- and between-channel gap paradigms of the auditory gap detection task. No significant differences were found between normal, dysphonetic, and dysphoneidetic readers on any of the visual temporal processing tasks. The current study failed to support the pansensory deficit of RD when reading groups were dichotomized across experimental tasks. However, when considering reading abilities as a continuum several significant correlations between performance on auditory and visual experimental tasks and reading decoding standardized measures were found suggesting that pansensory temporal processing is strongly associated with reading abilities. Results suggest that auditory temporal processing abilities are closely linked to phonological decoding skills in addition to sight-word recognition abilities for the young adolescents having reading disorders.

Book Synopsis Music and Dyslexia by : Timothy R. Miles
Download or read book Music and Dyslexia written by Timothy R. Miles and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-14 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music and dyslexia is of particular interest for two reasons. Firstly, research suggests that music education can benefit young dyslexics as it helps them focus on auditory and motor timing skills and highlights the rhythms of language. Secondly, dyslexic musicians at a more advanced level face particular challenges such as sight-reading, written requirements of music examinations and extreme performance nerves. This is a sequel to the highly successful Music and Dyslexia: Opening New Doors, published in 2001. The field of dyslexia has developed rapidly, particularly in the area of neuropsychology. Therefore this book focuses on these research advances, and draws out the aspects of music education that benefit young dyslexics. The contributors also discuss the problems that dyslexic musicians face, and several chapters are devoted to sight-reading and specific strategies that dyslexics can use to help them sight-read. The book offers practical techniques and strategies, to teachers and parents to help them work with young dyslexics and dyslexic musicians.
Book Synopsis Fluency in Reading by : Zvia Breznitz
Download or read book Fluency in Reading written by Zvia Breznitz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-08-15 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to examine in-depth the crucial role of the speed of information processing in the brain in determining reading fluency in both normal and dyslexic readers. Part I explains fluency in reading from both traditional and modern perspectives. Fluency has historically been viewed as the outcome of other reading-related factors and has often been seen as a convenient measure of reading skills. This book, however, argues that fluency has a strong impact on other aspects of reading and plays a central role in the entire reading process. Part II deals with the determinants of reading fluency. Chief among these is the speed of information processing in the brain. Using both behavioral and electrophysiological evidence, the book systematically examines the features of processing speed in the various brain systems involved in reading: visual-orthographic, auditory-phonological, and semantic and shows how speed of processing affects fluency in reading. Part III deals with the complex issues of cross-modal integration and specifically with the need for effective synchronization of the brain processes involved in reading. It puts forward the Synchronization Hypothesis and discusses the role of the Asynchrony Phenomenon as a major factor in dyslexia. Finally, it summarizes research on manipulating reading rate by means of the Acceleration method, providing evidence for a possible intervention aimed at reducing Asynchrony. Key features of this outstanding new book include: *Expanded View of Fluency. Reading fluency is seen as both a dependent and an independent Variable. Currently available books focus on reading rate solely as the outcome of other factors whereas this volume stresses that it is both an outcome and a cause. *Information Processing Focus. Fluency itself is determined to a large extent by a more general factor, namely, speed of processing in the brain. The book presents wide-ranging evidence for individual differences in speed of processing across many subpopulations. *Brain Synchronization Focus. The book posits a new theory arguing that effective reading requires synchronization of the different brain systems: visual orthographic, auditory-phonological, and semantic. *Research-Based Interventions. Interventions to enhance fluency and, thereby, reading skills in general are presented in detail. *Author Expertise. Zvia Breznitz is Head of the Department of Learning Disabilities and Director of the Laboratory for Neurocognitive Research at Haifa University in Israel, where she has been researching this topic for over a decade. This book is appropriate for researchers and advanced students in reading, dyslexia, learning disabilities, cognitive psychology, and neuropsychology.
