Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental dyslexia: the cerebellar deficit hypothesis
TL;DR: It is proposed that disorders of cerebellar development can in fact cause the impairments in reading and writing characteristic of dyslexia, a view consistent with the recently appreciated role of the cerebellum in language-related skills.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automaticity: A new framework for dyslexia research?
TL;DR: Dyslexic children need to invest significant conscious resources for monitoring balance, and thus their performance is adversely affected by any secondary task which serves to distract attention from the primary task, suggesting that for dyslexicChildren the skill of motor balance is poorly automatized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consensus Paper: Language and the Cerebellum: an Ongoing Enigma
Peter Mariën,Herman Ackermann,Michael Adamaszek,Caroline H S Barwood,Alan A. Beaton,John E. Desmond,Elke De Witte,Angela J. Fawcett,Ingo Hertrich,Michael Küper,Maria Leggio,Cherie L. Marvel,Marco Molinari,Bruce E. Murdoch,Roderick I. Nicolson,Jeremy D. Schmahmann,Catherine J. Stoodley,Markus Thürling,Dagmar Timmann,Ellen Wouters,Wolfram Ziegler +20 more
TL;DR: A range of different viewpoints and opinions regarding the contribution of the cerebellum to language function are brought together and a framework for debate and discussion will be offered in this consensus paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of abnormal cerebellar activation with motor learning difficulties in dyslexic adults
Roderick I. Nicolson,Angela J. Fawcett,Emma L Berry,I Harri Jenkins,Paul Dean,David J. Brooks +5 more
TL;DR: The results provided direct evidence that, for this group of dyslexic adults, the behavioural signs of Cerebellar abnormality reflect underlying abnormalities in cerebellar activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Procedural learning difficulties: reuniting the developmental disorders?
TL;DR: It is proposed that reunification might be achieved by using a "neural-systems" approach, which highlights the need for development of "neurocognitive" tests to probe the function of components of each neural system and improve strategies for explanation, diagnosis and support of developmental disorders.
