Subtypes of reading disability

Journal of Clinical Neuropsychology, 1983
Subtypes of reading disability were studied through the application of cluster analysis. A battery of 23 measures of reading, language, auditory and visual processing, memory, perceptual organization, and visual-motor coordination was administered to 65 reading-disabled children.

Dyslexia (Specific Reading Disability)

Pediatrics in Review, 2003
Converging evidence from a number of lines of investigation indicates that dyslexia represents a disorder within the language system and more specifically within a particular subcomponent of that system, phonological processing. Recent advances in imaging technology, particularly the development of functional magnetic resonance imaging, provide ...

Reading Disabilities

Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1973
A basic problem of urban school systems is their difficulty in teaching many black and Puerto Rican children in poverty areas to read. A theory of cognitive integration is one possible answer to this problem. The theory holds that many black and Puerto Rican children have difficulty in making total integrated responses to words and that this is ...

Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2009
This article synthesizes some of the published literature that selectively compares the cognitive functioning of children with math disabilities (MDs) with average-achieving children and poor readers (children with reading disabilities [RDs] or comorbid disabilities [RDs + MDs]).

Decoding, Reading, and Reading Disability

Remedial and Special Education, 1986
To clarify the role of decoding in reading and reading disability, a simple model of reading is proposed, which holds that reading equals the product of decoding and comprehension. It follows that there must be three types of reading disability, resulting from an inability to decode, an inability to comprehend, or both.

Neurobiological studies of reading and reading disability

Journal of Communication Disorders, 2001
Evidence from neuroimaging studies, including our own, suggest that skilled word identification in reading is related to the functional integrity of two consolidated left hemisphere (LH) posterior systems: a dorsal (temporo-parietal) circuit and a ventral (occipito-temporal) circuit.

Reading Disability in Twins

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1973
SUMMARYThe incidence of reading disability in 676 twin children was 14.5 per cent, somewhat higher than the figure usually given for the general population (10 per cent). Monozygotic twins were concordant for reading disability in 84 per cent of the pairs, dizygotic twins in 29 per cent, a significant difference (p <.001). These findings support the

Reading Comprehension and Reading Disability

2015
Virtually all reading researchers and theorists, regardless of their views of reading development, regard comprehension as the gold standard in de ning prima facie reading dif culties. Thus, even if a good comprehender exhibited some de cits in particular skill areas (e.g., phonics or monitoring), we would say that those variations from the ideal ...
