Reading and Dyslexia

Visual processing - how the information on the page is transmitted to the brain - is one of the key candidates in the search for exactly how children, both normal and those experiencing difficulty, learn to read. Surprisingly perhaps, the topic has often been neglected by researchers in the field. Reading and Dyslexia provides a thorough review of the most important work to date by leading international researchers. John Everatt and his team include investigations into eye movements and fixations, visual span, attentional focus, visual pathways, inhibition and interference. Each chapter considers the development of reading ability and individual differences between experienced readers, competent and disabled readers. Reading and Dyslexia provides a convenient, concise and scholarly resource for all those interested in reading ability. It will be especially useful for researchers and academics in psychology and education.
