DYSLEXIA

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which statement is false concerning dyslexia
A
Dyslexia is neurological in origin and is rooted in the phonological component of language.
B
Students with dyslexia depend on the left side of the brain for reading.
C
Dyslexia is not a visual problem; however, dyslexics may have difficulty suppressing the brain’s natural ability to create mirror images of letters and objects.
D
Many dyslexics have strong spatial reasoning abilities.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dyslexics show disruptions in the rear reading system in the left hemisphere, critical for reading fluently. There is more activation in the less efficient right hemisphere, thought to be a compensation method.

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: -There is a failure of the left hemisphere rear brain systems to function properly during reading. Furthermore, many people with dyslexia often show greater activation in the lower frontal areas of the brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Confusing Directions And while all adults mix up their left and right, if this is a consistent issue for you, it could be a sign of undiagnosed dyslexia. Dyslexia can cause issues with spatial reasoning. People dealing with dyslexia can have issues reading maps, following directions, and confuse their left and right.
