Abstract

We are writing in response to the review article: Stein. J. (2018). What is Developmental Dyslexia? , , 26, doi:10.3390/brainsci8020026. We consider that the section entitled, "Eye Movement Control", presents a misleading characterisation of current empirical and theoretical understanding. We outline five specific points relating to Stein's views on eye movement control and developmental dyslexia with which we disagree and conclude that disruption to oculomotor behaviour occurs as a consequence of processing difficulty that individuals with dyslexia experience as they engage in reading.
