Abstract

This paper reviews what is known about developmental dyslexia at three levels of analysis: cognitive, neurological, and genetic. It also considers the difficult problem of establishing causal links between these levels of analysis, and argues that solving the gene–behavior problem is paradoxically easier than solving the brain–behavior problem.
