Four experimental tasks were employed to explore the initial stages of visual information processing in 10 8–14 yr old dyslexic boys (assessed by the Wide Range Achievement Test Oral Reading and Spelling subscales and the Metropolitan Achievement Test Reading Comprehension subscale) and 10 age-, sex-, and IQ-matched normal controls. Two tasks involved visual backward masking; the other 2 were temporal integration tasks. The backward-masking tasks yielded evidence of slower rates of visual information processing in dyslexics; the temporal-integration tasks yielded evidence of longer duration of visible persistence in dyslexics. This effect was most evident in situations in which sequential stimuli impinged on the same retinal location. Some age trends in the development of these effects are noted. It is suggested that the dyslexic visual system may take an unusually long period of time to recover from the aftereffects of neural activity evoked by an inducing stimulus.(44 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)
