Reviews

Visual Aspects of Dyslexia presents a firm foundation for the role of visual deficits - in particular, deficits in magnocellular function in the dorsal stream - as a major underlying cause of dyslexia. ... This is a very interesting approach, which builds upon previous studies ... Students will find the chapters on eye movements and binocular control, as well as those on visual spacial attention and how it affects the dyslexic's ability to encode words during reading acquisition, particularly informative. ... It will be a rich resource for researchers in the perception community. Teri Lawton, Perception
