The cognitive profile of adults with low literacy skills in alphabetic orthogra...
Vágvölgyi, Réka; Bergström, Kirstin; Bulajić, Aleksandar; Rüsseler, Jascha; Fernandes, Tânia; Grosche, Michael; Klatte, Maria; Huettig, FalkDealing with text is crucial in modern societies. However, not everyone acquires sufficient literacy skills during school education. This systematic review summarizes and synthesizes research on adults with low literacy skills (ALLS) in alphabetic writing systems, includes results from behavioral and neurobiological studies, and compares these findings with those on developmental dyslexia given that this develo...

Functional illiteracy and developmental dyslexia: looking for common roots. A s...
Vágvölgyi, Réka; Bergström, Kirstin; Bulajic, Aleksandar; Klatte, Maria; Fernandes, Tânia; Grosche, Michael; Huettig, Falk; Rüsseler, JaschaA considerable amount of the population in more economically developed countries are functionally illiterate (i.e., low literate). Despite some years of schooling and basic reading skills, these individuals cannot properly read and write and, as a consequence have problems to understand even short texts. An often-discussed approach (Greenberg et al. 1997) assumes weak phonological processing skills coupled with...
Distinguishing cause from effect - many deficits associated with developmental ...
Huettig, Falk; Lachmann, Thomas; Reis, Alexandra; Petersson, Karl MagnusThe cause of developmental dyslexia is still unknown despite decades of intense research. Many causal explanations have been proposed, based on the range of impairments displayed by affected individuals. Here we draw attention to the fact that many of these impairments are also shown by illiterate individuals who have not received any or very little reading instruction. We suggest that this fact may not be coin...
