To detect early neurophysiological differences between dyslexic and unimpaired children
longitudinal studies are needed to investigate alterations of the brain functions during
reading acquisition. In a previous study Maurer et al. (2007) found different event related
potentials (ERP) between poor and good readers during an implicit reading task already
in the first two years of school.
The present study examines the neurophysiological correlates to an explicit reading task
of children with or without a familial risk for dyslexia. They participate from preschool until
second grade every half year. During an ERP-recording all children see either a word
or a picture followed by a spoken word. By pressing a button they decide if the visual
and auditory stimuli are congruent or incongruent. ERPs to the visual event and to the
matching task are analysed.
The previous results from the first assessment points will be presented and discussed.
