The strengths of the dyslexic brain could have evolved as humans adapted to changing culture. To survive, we needed to learn skills and acquire habits, but we also needed to be creative and find new solutions through exploration. In the new study, the researchers say some people specialised in taking advantage of learnt information, while others focused on discovery and invention. Studies have shown that people with dyslexia are less efficient at procedural learning than non-dyslexic people, said Taylor, who studies cognition and human evolution. “Learning to read, write or play the piano are all skills that are dependent on procedural memory; once learnt, the skills can be processed automatically and rapidly,” Taylor added. 刷阅读理解 2 Dyslexia has long been viewed as negative.
