From VOA Learning English, this is the Technology Report.Dyslexia is a learning disorder, it interferes with the ability to recognise words, and for some readers to understand what they have read.Experts say dyslexia affects about five to ten percent of the population of the United State.Researchers have long known that people with dyslexia write or read words and letters backwards in the wrong order.But a new study shows that people with dyslexia may have trouble redirecting their attention between senses, from seeing something to hearing something.The study suggests something that might help dyslexic people learn more quickly - play video games.Vanessa Harrar of Britain's University of Oxford led the study. She reported the findings in the journal Current Biology.The study suggests that dyslexic people may have trouble moving quickly from what they read to what they hear.Doctor Harrar calls this a "sluggish shifting of attention across the senses."
