Abstract Although developmental reading disorders (developmental dyslexia) have been mainly associated with auditory-phonological deficits, recent longitudinal and training studies have shown a possible causal role of visuo-attentional skills in reading acquisition.Indeed, visuo-attentional mechanisms could be involved in the orthographic processing of Mapping the impacts of neural networks on human resource management research: a bibliometric analysis the letter string and the graphemic parsing that precede the grapheme-to-phoneme mapping.Here, we used a simple paper-and-pencil task composed of three labyrinths to measure visuo-spatial attention in a large sample of primary school children (n = 398).In comparison to visual search tasks requiring visual working memory, our labyrinth task mainly measures distributed and focused visuo-spatial attention, also controlling for sensorimotor learning.

Compared to typical readers (n = 340), children with reading difficulties (n = 58) showed clear visuo-spatial attention impairments Detection of Anti-Erythrocyte Antibodies in Dogs with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) that appear not linked to motor coordination and procedural learning skills implicated in this paper and pencil task.Since visual attention is dysfunctional in about 40% of the children with reading difficulties, an efficient reading remediation program should integrate both auditory-phonological and visuo-attentional interventions.
