EEG Power Spectra of Adolescent Poor Readers.
Ackerman, Peggy T.; McPherson, W. Brian; Oglesby, D. Michael; Dykman, Roscoe A.
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v31 n1 p83-90 Jan-Feb 1998
Electroencephalographic power spectra were studied in two poor-reading adolescent groups (n=38), dysphonetic and phonetic. Significant Group x Hemisphere effects were found in the alpha and beta bands, with the phonetic group showing right greater than left asymmetry. Results suggest more circumscribed and mature processing in the phonetically abler poor readers, since normal adult readers also show this same asymmetry. (Author/DB)
