Neurocognitive Tasks for Dyslexia Identification: A Review of Considerations, Challenges, and Implications

Dyslexia, a complex neurological disorder affecting reading, writing, and spelling, requires an understanding of individualized needs for accurate diagnosis and treatment. This review provides an overview of neurocognitive tasks targeting dyslexia-associated neural processes and brain regions. The review covers various cognitive domains: attention, memory, language, executive functions, perception, and social cognition. Examining these tasks offers insights into dyslexia's underlying mechanisms and its impact on cognitive functioning. Compre-hending the interplay between neurocognitive processes and dyslexia is crucial for tailored interventions. Identifying deficits and strengths in these domains helps design intervention pro-grams that address individual needs. This review emphasizes the importance of a multidimensional approach for comprehensive dyslexia evaluation and targeted interventions, ultimately improving outcomes for affected individuals.
