To completely realize what children with dyslexia experience, it is important to obtain ground knowledge of how the disease starts in the first place. Upon understanding the possible explanations for this disability it becomes easier to find a solution to help the the one who is suffering from the disability. In the article Developmental Dyslexia: The Role of the Cerebellum by Roderick I. Nicolson and Angela J. Fawcett they wrote how damage done to the cerebellum can cause disco-ordination which could be a possible cause of dyslexia. “The Cerebellum is a very densely packed and deeply folded subcortical brain structure situated at the back of the brain, sometimes known as the ‘hind-brain’” (Nicolson and Angela, 39). The Cerebellum plays a role in many functions which include cognition functions which is the processing in memory, understanding languages, etc… Nicolson and Angela have further researched and found that “…dyslexic children showed clinical symptoms of cerebellar abnormality” (Nicolson and Angela, 45).
In addition to the cerebellum a working memory is very important in one’s life in order to be able to absorb knowledge and apply it to real life. According to the article, Auditory Temporal Processing and Working Memory: Two Independent Deficits for Dyslexia, dyslexia is a highly genetic neuro-cognitive disorder. The authors talk about how the “deficit in a working memory underlies reading difficulties…” (Fostick et al, 2). From the article above it is said that the Cerebellum plays a role in memory and the authors concluded that most dyslexic people had abnormalities in their Cerebellum. Fascinatingly, we see how the two articles interlink the same concept that dyslexia is a problem that originates a region in the brain that is responsible for memory.
