Dyslexia and Working Memory

$294⁰⁰

This accessible guide defines dyslexia through the lens of working memory and explores its consequent impact on cognitive overload in academic and workplace settings, as well as life generally. It combines evidence-based strategies and relevant guidance to help individuals with dyslexia manage challenges and foster long-term success.

A lifespan perspective on dyslexia and its effects beyond childhood literacy, using cognitive overload as a central explanatory model.

Description

Drawing on decades of expertise alongside a large dataset of assessment results, this book offers an integrated, lifespan perspective on dyslexia and its lasting effects. It reframes dyslexia as an information processing difficulty, with working memory weakness at its core, leading to cognitive overload in learning, work, and everyday life. Aimed at individuals with dyslexia as well as educators, coaches, counsellors, and career advisors, the authors provide practical, evidence-based recommendations for managing associated challenges with a particular focus on strategy development and the use of assistive technology. Bridging neuroscience, cognitive psychology and educational psychology, the text promotes scientific understanding of dyslexia in all its manifestations.
