    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Anomalies have been found in a range of skills for\nchildren with dyslexia. The study presented here\ninvestigated performance on the full range of primitive skills for with dyslexia and normal children at ages 8, 11 and 16 years. Unexpectedly severe deficits were\nrevealed in a range of skills, including motor skill,\nphonological skill, and processing speed. Overall, the\nperformance of the 16 year old children with dyslexia was no better than that of the 8 year old normal\nchildren, with some skills being significantly worse,\nand some better. The results are inierpteted in terms of\na developmental progression in which children with\ndyslexia suffer from general deficits in primitive skill\nlearning, but are able to consciously compensate in\nmany skills. We believe that a connectionist learning\nframewcxk may provide a parsimonious account of the\nrange of deficits, providing a potential link between\nthese difficulties in skilled performance and the\nunderlying neuroanatomical abnormalities",
