摘要

From the first descriptions of 'word blindness' in the late nineteenth century, the nature of dyslexia has generated debate. Alastair Compston examines two papers from the Brain archives, from 1921 and 1956, that helped to inform current views by providing evidence that dyslexia is a specific disorder unrelated to intelligence.From the first descriptions of 'word blindness' in the late nineteenth century, the nature of dyslexia has generated debate.
