The error detection mechanism among dyslexic and skilled readers: Characterization and plasticity

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

The error detection mechanism, which is part of the human cognitive control system, is intended to prevent an error reoccurring. Its activation can be measured by the elicitation of two event-related potential components: error (ERN) and correct-related negativities (CRN). This chapter explores the evidence of the existence of this mechanism among dyslexics, despite their tendency to repeat reading errors. Because the mechanism is part of the brain’s learning circuitry, its ability to change naturally during development and following intervention programs aimed at improving dyslexics’ reading ability is also discussed.
