Exploring the role of the vestibular system in visuospatial memory in developmental dyslexia: Narrative review Vestibular system in visuospatial memory in Dyslexia
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Individuals with dyslexia face significant challenges when it comes to writing and reading, even though they can receive an education. Various theories suggest that difficulties in processing auditory and visual cues, crucial for reading, are the underlying cause of developmental dyslexia. The vestibular system intricately processes the visuospatial memory, essential to reading comprehension. This review aims to provide a detailed explanation of the crucial role of the vestibular system in visuospatial memory, cognition, and motor planning.
