This paper is an interim report on a large-scale survey. The background to the authors' research into dyslexia is briefly outlined. Next comes an explication of the contrast between "anomaly" and "normal variation." Some details are then provided of a survey of 12,905 children, age ten, who were given a variety of educational and cognitive tests relevant to a diagnosis of dyslexia. It is shown that the resultant distributions of scores are incompatible with the hypothesis of normal variation. The counter-hypothesis, viz. that dyslexia involves some kind of anomaly, has, therefore, to that extent resisted refutation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
