Investigation of visual aspects of developmental dyslexia in children (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Piotrowska, B., Murray, J., Willis, A., & Kerridge, J. Investigation of visual aspects of developmental dyslexia in children

Developmental dyslexia is a disorder characterised by difficulties with reading, despite adequate intelligence and education. Phonological deficits are often indicated as the primary cause of dyslexia. Because a range of lower-level perceptual, atten...

Visual-spatial-motor integration in a cross-section of primary-aged children: implications for assessing risk of Dyslexia (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Piotrowska, B., Willis, A., MacLean, R., Murray, J., & Kerridge, J. (2015, August). Visual-spatial-motor integration in a cross-section of primary-aged children: implications for assessing risk of Dyslexia. Presented at European Conference on Visual Perception (ECVP) 2015

Dyslexia is a common condition characterized by difficulties with reading and writing despite adequate intelligence, education and motivation. Many individuals with dyslexia also have problems integrating visual information over space and time, and /...

Performance on a tablet-based visual-spatial-motor task is compromised in adults and children with dyslexia: implications for the development of a novel screening tool (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Willis, A., Piotrowska, B., Bannach-Brown, A., MacLean, R. D. J., & Kerridge, J. (2014, March). Performance on a tablet-based visual-spatial-motor task is compromised in adults and children with dyslexia: implications for the development of a novel screening tool

Many adults and children with dyslexia also have problems with lower-level sensory, attentional, or motor tasks. In particular, there may be problems with auditory processing1, visual motion processing2-3, visual-spatial attention4, and motor control...
