| Summary: | In an attempt to establish brain dysfunction as a factor underlying backwardness of reading, an electroencephalogram and several psychological tests were administered to a group of poor readers and normal controls. Although there were no significant differences in the EEG patterns between the two groups, there was a developmental trend suggesting that the poor readers had more posterior slow wave activity at a later age than did the normal controls. For both groups a relationship was also found between IQ ratings and the aide of the brain showing the most posterior slow waves. Two types of poor readers were identified. |
