“The Dyslexia Paradox” featuring research from Prof Tyler Perrachione
(12/21/16) Assistant Professor Tyler Perrachione quoted.
“…results suggest that dyslexic brains have to work harder than ‘typical’ brains to process incoming sights and sounds, requiring additional mental overhead for even the simplest tasks. ‘What was surprising for me was the magnitude of the difference. These are not subtle differences,’ says Perrachione. The extra brainwork might not be noticeable most of the time, but it seems to have a singularly prominent impact on reading.”
