dyslexia

[Mark S. Seidenberg]

There are several papers on dyslexia downloadable from our lab web
site, URL given below.

Harm & Seidenberg (1999) summarize a lot of behavioral research and
present a computational model of two types of dyslexia.

Harm, McCandliss and Seidenberg (2003) use the above model to explain
why some common interventions for dyslexia are effective and others are
not.

Rayner, Foorman, Perfetti, Pesetsky & Seidenberg (2001) is a short
monograph about reading, dyslexia, and instruction that was
commissioned by the American Psychological Society.

Rayner et al. (2002) is a more accessible Scientific American article
emphasizing instructional issues (some instructional practices create
what I call "instructional dyslexics").

Dyslexia research is quite up in the air right now, in my opinion, with
rather clear evidence about the kinds of deficits that dyslexics
exhibit but little consensus about etiology (i.e., proximal causes).
