Neurometrics does not detect ‘pure’ dyslexics

摘要: Abstract Thirty-eight severely dyslexic boys and 38 good readers were evaluated with neurometrics, a diagnostic procedure based on the application of numerical taxonomy to EEG spectra obtained during resting conditions, supplemented by selected evoked potential features. This generates deviance scores for comparing each individual's values those from normative population has been reported discriminate learning disabled children normal controls (Ahn et al. 1980). In present study, all subjects, control, passed stringent screening assure intellectual, neurological, sensory emotional status. The false positive rate in our control group was comparable that earlier. However, none significantly discriminated dyslexics controls; most subjects both groups classified as normal. Severe dyslexia per se is thus not associated specific neurometric abnormalities previously more heterogeneous populations.
