| Abstract: | Conclusions Evidence of different syndromes of developmental dyslexia raises the question of the interaction between dyslexic types and
patterns of cerebral dominance. Some of the proposed classifications of dyslexia, and most notably the one proposed by Boder
(1971), strongly suggest that dyslexic subtypes, that can be identified clinically by reading-spelling patterns, may possess
different or opposite cerebral dominance patterns. Thus, research of cerebral dominance in dyslexia (i.e., Orton’s hypothesis)
should involve careful selection and classification of subjects. When this is done it can be shown that electrophysiological
measures can identify cerebral-dominance abnormalities in at least one subtype of developmental dyslexia.
This paper was presented in part at the 29th Annual Conference of The Orton Society, November 1978, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. |
