From Visual Attention to Literacy: Symbol Search Deficit Predicts Future Reading Difficulties From Age 3

ABSTRACT Poor reading has been associated with impaired simultaneous visual processing of multiple graphic symbols composed of separable features, a behavioral marker of reduced visual attention based on parietal dysfunction. We designed a visual search screening test, consisting of finding the (unique) black circle among circles combined with a bar of
