Dyslexia affects one in every 10 to 20 people in the UK alone and is associated with reading and spelling difficulties. Dyslexia does not affect a person’s overall general intelligence. A recent study done by Hebrew University researchers carried out a host of experiments with dyslexics and non-dyslexics to increase understanding the of the condition.

Researchers believe that people with dyslexia have a weak implicit memory.

The Hebrew University researchers found that implicit memory decays faster among dyslexics. The researchers concluded that shorter implicit memory means a person with dyslexia is unable to yield efficient predictions that can affect reading, although it may be advantageous with unexpected stimuli, such as novel events in a sequence of predictable, familiar events.

Key Takeaways:

1
Researchers discovered that people with dyslexia rebound faster than non-dyslexics from their reactions to stimuli, like sounds and written words, which likely explains their reading challenges.
2
Sixty participants, 30 with dyslexia and 30 without, were used in the study.
3
However, this recovery may actually be beneficial in situations with unexpected stimuli.
