  • Title: Attentional blink differences between adolescent dyslexic and normal readers.
    Author: Lacroix GL, Constantinescu I, Cousineau D, de Almeida RG, Segalowitz N, Grünau Mv.
    Journal: Brain Cogn; 2005 Mar; 57(2):115-9. PubMed ID: 15708200.
    Abstract:
    The goal of this study was to evaluate the possibility that dyslexic individuals require more working memory resources than normal readers to shift attention from stimulus to stimulus. To test this hypothesis, normal and dyslexic adolescents participated in a Rapid Serial Visual Presentation experiment (Raymond, Shapiro, & Arnell, 1992). Surprisingly, the result showed that the participants with dyslexia produced a shallower attentional blink than normal controls. This result may be interpreted as showing differences in the way the two groups encode information in episodic memory. They also fit in a cascade-effect perspective of developmental dyslexia.
