Dyslexia

Shaywitz, Sally E.·1998·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Developmental dyslexia is characterized by an unexpected difficulty in reading in children and adults who otherwise possess the intelligence, motivation, and schooling considered necessary for accurate and fluent reading. Dyslexia (or specific reading disability) is the most common and most carefully studied of the learning disabilities, affecting 80 percent of all those identified as learning-disabled.1 Although the diagnosis and implications of dyslexia were once quite uncertain, recent advances in our knowledge of its epidemiology, neurobiology, and genetics, as well as of the cognitive influences on this disorder, now allow physicians to approach dyslexia within the framework of a traditional medical . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
