Publisher Synopsis
"More than any other recognized learning disorder, the history of the study of dyslexia has been long and filled with great discoveries and innovations, as well as failures. Dyslexia, Learning, and the Brain, makes a unique and significant contribution by reviewing this huge literature. But more importantly, this text stands out among most others in the area, by presenting alternative science-based theories in a coherent manner, and interweaving them with some of the commonly accepted ideas in cognitive neuroscience. The author's ideas are often refreshing, and I consider them called for if we are to do the necessary 'out-of-the-box' thinking towards advancing the field. Nicholson and Fawcett have, over the years, challenged and engaged the dyslexia community. Their voice in this text should be heard clearly by any student of the field young or old." Jeffrey W. Gilger , Associate Dean for Discovery and Faculty Development, Purdue University, and Chair, Research Subcommittee, the International Dyslexia Association Read more...
