The hypothesis about the association of dyslexia with visual-spatial talents is still not verified. Evidence is inconsistent, ranging from inferior to superior visualspatial abilities in individuals with dyslexia. Using a variety of visual-spatial tasks, this study tested the hypothesis that dyslexia is associated with superior visual-spatial ability. The results suggest that children with dyslexia performed equivalently to the controls on most tasks. On one measure, however, they were superior. They were significantly better than controls on the analytic spatial test. Results also showed that they were worse in solving visual-spatial tasks that include implicit memory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
