Reading and Dual-Task Balancing: Evidence against the Automatization Deficit Explanation of Developmental Dyslexia.
Wimmer, Heinz; Mayringer, Heinz; Raberger, Thomas
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v32 n5 p473-78 Sep-Oct 1999
A study of 30 Austrian children with dyslexia (grades 2-4) found that poor dual-task balancing was limited to children with higher attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) ratings and that children with dyslexia without higher ADHD performed as well on dual-task balancing as age-matched control children.
