About the Book

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.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 Introductory chapters: neuroanatomical findings in developmental dyslexia, G.F.Sherman, G.D.Rosen and A.M.Galaburda; transitory neuronal connections in normal development and disease, D.O.Frost; some remarks on the origin of the phonetic code, B.Lindblom. Part 2 Hemispheric specializations and interactions: some brain mechanisms for reading, G.A.Ojeman; reading and lateralized brain lesions in children, D.M.Aram, B.L.Ekelman and L.L.Gillespie; hemispheric independence and interaction in word recognition, E.Zaidel; relative interactive hemispheric dominance in reading, T.Landis and M.Regard; spatial constraints on the distribution of selective attention in the visual field, G.Berlucchi et al; dynamics of information processing of the somato-sensory cortex, B.Whitsel; disordered right hemisphere function in developmental dyslexia, J.Stein; motor control in man - complex movements using one or both hands, J.C.Rothwell. Part 3 Phonetics and phonology: the speech code, G.Fant; neuropsychological and neuroanatomical studies of developmental language/reading disorders - recent advances, P.Tallal and W.Katz; reading is hard just because listening is easy, A.M.Liberman; phonology and beginning reading revisited, I.Y.Liberman; lack of phonological awareness - a critical factor in dyslexia, I.Lundberg; deficits in disabled readers' phological and orthographic coding - etiology and remediation, R.Olson et al. Part 4 Memory functions and language: the role of phonological memory in normal and disordered language development, S.E.Gathercole and A.D.Baddeley; orthographic structures, the graphemic buffer and the spelling process, A.Caramazza and G.Miceli; grammatical capacity and developmental dyslexia - issues for research, M-L.Kean; morphological awareness in dyslexia, C.Elbro; information-processing obstacles in reading acquisition, T.Hoien, O.F.Leegaard and J.P.Larsen. Part 5 Visual analysis and saccadic strategies in reading: comments on eye movements, R.Granit; hemispheric interactions in saccadic responses to bihemifield stimuli, Y.Y.Zeevi; sequential vision and reading, G.Nyman; dyslexia and reading as examples of alternative visual strategies, G.Geiger and J.Y.Lettvin; reading with and without eye movements, L.W.Stark and C.C.Krischer; eye movements and the perceptual span in beginning and dyslexic readers, K.Rayner; some characteristics of readers' eye movements, G.W.McConkie and D.Zola.
