Developmental dyslexia: specific phonological deficit or general sensorimotor dysfunction? (2003, methodology): “instance, although school-age and adult dyslexics are sometimes shown to have abnormal patterns of visual fixation and attention [10 ,48,81], it has never been clear whether this was a cause or a consequence of their reading problems.”
LANGUAGE BASIS OF READING DISABILITIES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR EARLY IDENTIFICATION AND REMEDIATION (2003, background): “Transient system deficits have also begun to be linked with problems in other aspects of sensory processing and/or cerebellar functioning found in some poor readers (Stein, 2001).”
Dyslexia in the Foreign Language Classroom (2010, background): “That is why it has been suggested (Stein, 2001; Stein & Talcott, 1999; Talcott et al., 2000a, 2000b) that individuals with dyslexia may have a specific impairment of the visual magnocellular/transient pathway, however the impairment is said to be mild and non-existing in all dyslexics.”
Developmental dyslexia: the visual attention span deficit hypothesis. (2007, positive): “In addition, low level visual processing disorders induced by a magnocellular dysfunction may contribute to developmental dyslexia (Livingstone, Rosen, Drislane, & Galaburda, 1991; Lovegrove, Martin, & Slaghuis, 1986; Stein, 1991, 2001, 2003; Stein & Fowler, 1993; Stein, Talcott, & Witton, 2001; S”
Target article with commentaries and response: The role of sensorimotor impairments in dyslexia: A multiple case study of dyslexic children (2006, positive): “The magnocellular theory has now been extended to account for auditory and motor, as well as visual, impairments ( Stein, 2001; Stein & Walsh, 1997).”
The Construct of the Multisensory Temporal Binding Window and its Dysregulation in Developmental Disabilities (2014, background): “One of the most well-developed of these views centers on the magnocellular layers of the thalamus (Livingstone et al., 1991; Stein, 2001).”
Developmental dyslexia in adults : a research review (2004, neutral): “However, it was only with confirmation that the cerebellum—‘the brain’s autopilot’ (Stein, 2001)—was involved in linguistic as well as motor skill acquisition (Ito, 1993) that there was reason to investigate cerebellar dysfunction as a possible cause of dyslexia (Nicolson et al.”
Auditory processing in dyslexia and specific language impairment: is there a deficit? What is its nature? Does it explain anything? (2003, background): “Auditory and visual processing deficits may be linked, as expressed most elegantly in the form of the magno-cellular hypothesis (Stein, 2001).”
