Arabic number writing in children with developmental dyslexia
Keywords:
Basic numerical abilities, Dyslexia, MathematicsAbstract
Number transcoding is a basic numerical processing task that demands verbal skills during its execution. The goal of this study was to investigate number transcoding ability in children with developmental dyslexia. Twenty-three children with typical development and twenty-six children with developmental dyslexia participated in this study. Results showed tha children with dyslexia show a defi cit in phonological processing as well as in number transcoding. Repeated-measures analysis of covariance indicated that the dyslexia group presented performance below the average in the number transcoding. Regression analyses indicated that short-term verbal memory, phoneme deletion, rhyme judgment task and automatized naming was a strong predictor of number transcoding diffi culties. Children with dyslexia present number transcoding defi cits regardless of age and educational level.
