New insights on developmental dyslexia subtypes: heterogeneity of mixed reading profiles.

We examined whether classifications based on reading performance are relevant to identify cognitively homogeneous subgroups of dyslexic children. Each of the 71 dyslexic participants was selected to have a mixed reading profile, i.e. poor irregular word and pseudo-word reading performance (accuracy...

description We examined whether classifications based on reading performance are relevant to identify cognitively homogeneous subgroups of dyslexic children.
