Cerebellar Tests Differentiate between Groups of Poor Readers with and without IQ Discrepancy.
Fawcett, Angela J.; Nicolson, Roderick I.; Maclagan, Fiona
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v34 n2 p119-35 Mar-Apr 2001
Tests of phonological, speed, motor and cerebellar tasks were given to 36 students with learning disabilities, 29 of whom were classified as non-discrepant (IQ<90) and 7 as discrepant, (IQ at least 90 and dyslexic). On the cerebellar tests of postural stability and muscle tone, the non-discrepant group performed significantly better than the children with dyslexia. (Contains references.) (Author/DB)
