dyslexia

難讀症 / Dyslexia

There is no difficulty in hearing and speaking, but there is an abnormality in reading the text . In special education, it is called reading learning disorder and classified as a kind of learning disorder .

In general, reading is a complex process that we do unconsciously and without much difficulty, but it is a combination of a complex process of seeing letters, recognizing them as words, and understanding their meaning and content. For example, to read the word ' Dad '

People with dyslexia have difficulty reading text because this process is delayed. For example, the brain is interpreting the 'ppa' part of 'dad', but other parts of the brain have already forgotten the visual information for 'a', and as a result, it is not connected to 'dad'. When looking at letters with dense shapes, there are cases where they are recognized as completely different letters and cannot be connected to word information they know.

Just because you have dyslexia doesn't mean you're smart. In fact, among those with dyslexia, some only have problems with language skills, but some are good at mental arithmetic or operating machines, and some have extraordinary intellects. For this reason , there is a claim in academia that dyslexia actually creates geniuses . The reason for this claim is that as people become unable to read books, their right brain develops to compensate for the weakness of their left brain, which controls logic, and they develop creativity that is superior to that of other people. In terms of computers , while the average person puts text in their head as text, such as a txt file, there are cases where people who are reading a text read it as a picture, such as a BMP file. At this point, it is not a matter of whether they are smart or not, but they just have different ways of processing information. It will. This type of dyslexia is said to be good at reading the text itself, but has a very difficult time reading when the font is different. This is similar to how a person who can read Chinese characters, which have strong hieroglyphic characteristics , but is not used to using them, can only read the cursive script well and cannot read the cursive or cursive script well.[4]

There is also training that artificially gives ordinary people this ability, and this is called speed reading . Some people call it photo reading in the sense that it recognizes and interprets letters as a whole in the form of an image. In fact, even people who have not systematically practiced speed reading may read letters one by one at first, but as they read more books, they may realize that they are reading one word or several words at once. For example, if there is a word ' apple ', at first the letters 'four' and 'gwa' are read separately, and the brain attaches them to replace them with the word 'apple' and connects this with the concept of the fruit apple, but when you get used to reading books, ' When you look at the shape of ‘apple’ itself, you immediately think of the concept of the fruit. This tendency is especially evident when reading foreign languages , especially Chinese characters . Since certain words or phrases are perceived as chunks, even if you cannot read the Chinese characters one by one, you can often roughly understand them by looking at each word or sentence as a whole. As you become more accustomed to reading, you can take in two or three words at a time and connect their meaning and form at once. Speed ​​reading is closer to a technique that intentionally shortens this process through systematic learning.

On the Internet, it is used as a ridiculing person who misunderstands the point of the article or does not eat speaking, and even further commenting on the alumni . If you have a misrepresentation of the letter or if you lack knowledge to read, it refers to all.

Cases of misreading letters are relatively rare and the majority are due to misreading , and the word context blindness is often used as a new Internet word . Please refer to the corresponding document.

On the other hand, there are cases where incorrect facts are spread or disseminated by misreading or interpreting statistical or literary data. This falls into the category of literature pollution and also serves as the cause of the spread of a significant number of fake news . In particular, statistical data on the same topic may result in different figures due to differences in aggregation methods for each institution, and this is often overlooked in the process of citing statistical data.

Although it is not exactly dyslexia, I often misread certain letters. See the Hangul/Issues and Controversies document.

Another reason is that you may not be able to see something clearly due to eyesight or other reasons. There are many cases where even simple things are confusing because of their appearance.[8] For the same reason, there was often confusion between Paju City Bus No. 8800 (Geumchon-Seoul Station) and 8880 (Gyoha-Ilsan-Seoul Station), although both are now gone. If the numbers are complex and have similar patterns, such as Seoul Bus 5614 - Seoul Bus 6514 , there is a chance that this is the case. The original name of Cheonggu Station was Gwanghuimun Station , but it was renamed because Gwanghwamun Station is located just a few stops away on the same line .

A similar example is Yaminjeongeum, which is deliberately written incorrectly .

There is a phenomenon similar to dyslexia in mathematics , which is called dyscalculia .

Many local governments have enacted ordinances to support students with dyslexia . These ordinances generally include support for early screening tests for students with dyslexia, counseling for students and parents, and support for referrals to medical institutions.

The urban legend that more than 50% of employees working at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration suffer from dyslexia was widely spread on the American Internet, but it turned out to be false . Common sense tells us that one must study well and pass the SAT college entrance exam to get into NASA, where many college graduates with average academic backgrounds work, but it makes no sense for people with dyslexia to work here.

It is said that a font for people with dyslexia has been released.

It was found that 23,491 elementary school students in Korea are suspected or presumed to be dyslexic. #

Ayane Tosaka (遠阪 綾音), the female protagonist in the novel Your Last Song ( written by Misaki Ichijo ), appears to have developmental dyslexia.

It is often accompanied by ADHD and is often misdiagnosed.
