Zusatztext "Offers exciting new insights and thought-provoking perspectives on well-established issues in dyslexia research for researchers and students alike. This book is a milestone in the last decade of publishing on dyslexia."- Leo Blomert, Professor, Neurocognition of Literacy & Numeracy, University of Maastricht, The Netherlands"Reading Acquisition and Developmental Dyslexia is very well-written, current and comprehensive. It presents an excellent balance and tight coordination between theoretical issues and experimental research." -José Morais, Professor, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium Informationen zum Autor Liliane Sprenger-Charolles has worked at the CNRS (the French National Scientific Research Centre) as a Senior Research Scientist since 1990. Her main areas of research are reading/spelling acquisition, developmental dyslexia, and cross-linguistic studies. She is widely published and is a regular speaker at international conferences and workshops. Pascale Colé has been Professor of Cognitive Psychology at the University of Savoy since 2000. She is in charge of the professional masters program in child and adolescent psychology. Her research interests include normal and pathological aspects of reading development and adult skilled reading. Willy Serniclaes has been a researcher at the CNRS since 2002, and was formerly Professor at the Brussels Free University (ULB). His work deals with the relationships between speech perception models and both oral and written language deficits. His current research is centred on the effect of deviant phonological development on the genesis of dyslexia as well as on the modelling of speech categorisation processes. Zusammenfassung This book sheds new light on dyslexia and its relationship with reading acquisition, presenting two unique advancements in this area, and offering a new framework which could explain both reading acquisition and developmental dyslexia. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction. What Have We Learned from Studies with Skilled Adult Readers? Reading Acquisition in Deep and Shallow Orthographies. Reliability and Prevalence of Dyslexic Reading Deficits. Perceptual Explanations of Dyslexia. A Plausible Framework for Explaining Reading Acquisition and Developmental Dyslexia. ...
