Exploring the double deficit hypothesis in Spanish schoolchildren using latent profile analysis
Journal of Research in Reading, EarlyView.Abstract Background Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by deficits in phonological awareness (PA). According to the Double Deficit Hypothesis (DDH), Rapid Automatic Naming (RAN) deficit is another potential independent cause. However, the evidence from studies with languages that vary in orthographic consistency is mixed.
