The Visual Brain and Peripheral Reading and Writing Disorders: A Guide to Visual System Dysfunction for Speech-Language Pathologists
Autor Heidi Heeringaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 iun 2019
This text brings together findings from the neuropsychological, neurooptometric, neurolinguistic, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology literature on acquired visual system impairment from the past 20+ years, and the ways visual system dysfunction impacts reading, writing, and cognition.
Chapters Include:
- Review of structural elements of the eye, the cortical and subcortical structures of the visual brain, and the motor and sensory components of normal vision
- The distinct functions of the three primary visual pathways (central, peripheral and retinotectal) and how they relate to reading and writing
- Review of five formal tests of reading and writing that are designed or may be adapted to assess peripheral reading and writing disorders
- And much more!
- Figures illustrating the various components of the visual brain that are engaged when we read and write
- Information on visual system deficits in left hemisphere lesions with and without aphasia
- Detailed descriptions of peripheral reading disorders and associated error patterns
- Diagnostic criteria for three different types of neglect (viewer-centered, stimulus-centered, object-centered)
- Description of treatment materials and methods suited to clients with acquired dyslexia due to visual system dysfunction
