CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Imaging research has demonstrated that the brains of people with dyslexia show different, less efficient, patterns of processing (including under and over activation) during tasks involving sounds in speech and letter sounds in words.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ordinary readers use left-brain systems, but dyslexic readers rely more on right brain areas. Researchers Judith Rumsey and Barry Horwitz at the National Institute of Mental Health used positron emission tomography (PET) to compare regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) among dyslexic and nondyslexic men.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dyslexia happens because of a difference in the way the brain processes information. Pictures of the brain show that when people with dyslexia read, they use different parts of the brain than people without dyslexia. These pictures also show that the brains of people with dyslexia don’t work efficiently during reading.

Detailed explanation-4: -In addition to reading, they may also struggle with learning their math facts, telling time, or following multiple step instructions. Research being done at the University of Texas at Houston, as well as Yale and Georgetown Universities, confirms that brains of people with dyslexia are “wired” differently.

Detailed explanation-5: -Dyslexic brains function differently because they are organized differently. They even look different, though not to the naked eye. Scientists use microscopes and sophisticated neuroimaging tools to study the structural and functional differences of dyslexic brains.
