Dyslexia: Einstein's Shoelaces Wrong

In Xiao Ke's impression, he studied very hard and conscientiously when he was a child, which made his Chinese score in the college entrance examination exceed the key score line. "I can quickly remember the shape of things, and I can generally remember the faces I have seen; but I can't remember names." Xiao Ke said, an English word composed of many letters, he can quickly determine its letters The number was right, but he couldn't tell which letters were missing or more. Shu Hua told reporters that many children with dyslexia have many other talents, such as strong hands-on ability, good painting or music, etc. As long as language is not involved, children are good in other aspects.

Liu Li is engaged in research on the brain mechanism of dyslexia. Through the communication with Xiao Ke, she believes that Xiao Ke may be a person who is more sensitive to "shape", that is to say, his vision is relatively developed, and the process of his learning to read may be a process of establishing a direct connection between glyphs and semantics. However, most children first learn spoken language and establish a sound-meaning pathway in their brains, and then when they learn glyphs, they establish the connection between shape and meaning through the medium of speech.

"People with dyslexia may be more dependent on the brain's form-sense pathway than the form-sound pathway. It's not clear how this trait is related to dyslexia - maybe it's the cause of dyslexia. Maybe it is dyslexia that promotes the emergence and development of this trait, and maybe it is the compensation of dyslexia for the defect of the form-phonic pathway." Liu Li hopes that her future research can go further in this direction.

What is certain is that Xiao Ke made up for most of the defects caused by dyslexia through his own efforts without himself and his parents completely unaware that he had dyslexia. "Dyslexia reflects a very low-level psychological process, which is not easy to discover or recover. But reading not only depends on these, but also on many advanced psychological processes." Shu Hua said that these children can gain logical reasoning ability because they Intelligence is not a problem. Therefore, the most difficult time for children with dyslexia is in elementary school, because they are younger and have not yet developed advanced psychological strategies to compensate for dyslexia. But in high school and college, you can use these strategies to read. In foreign countries, many people diagnosed with dyslexia can still go to university without affecting their future development.

Dr. Yuping Zhang, who works at the State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning at Beijing Normal University, focuses on the impact of family on dyslexic people. She told reporters that many celebrities have dyslexia, but this does not prevent them from eventually becoming great figures in history.

Einstein, who did not speak until the age of 3, had a poor memory, it was difficult to remember some very simple things, so he had dyslexia. Even as an adult, he has difficulty finding the proper vocabulary when speaking. But his visualization ability is very good. Although he may not remember the months in a year, this does not prevent him from solving some extremely complex mathematical problems perfectly. He may never tie his shoes correctly, but his contributions to science and his impact on modern society are profound.

Andersen, brought wonderful fairy tales to countless children, but it can be said that he was a lucky person with dyslexia. His experience taught people that when you are determined to do something, nothing can stop you from being successful.

Leonardo da Vinci, a true master of polymath: scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, painter, anatomist, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician and writer. However, he is also dyslexic, and many times, he writes backwards.

Edison, the great inventor who influenced the world. He didn't read until he was 12, he only spent 3 months in regular school, was poor in math and literacy, couldn't concentrate, and was a troubled, troubled child. He is dyslexic because of hearing damage as a child. Throughout his life, he had difficulty writing and spelling.

Churchill, the famous statesman, described himself as a "speech impediment", but he always exercised himself to make up for this deficiency. Years later, he finally thinks that "my speech barrier is gone". While the speech impediment may have caused some of his language confusion, it instead allowed him to ignore unimportant details, making him a very decisive person.

Also on this long list are U.S. Presidents Wilson, John F. Kennedy, George Washington, Eisen Howell, Thomas Jefferson, scientist Faraday, the Wright Brothers, writer Edgar Allan Poe, and athlete Carl Lewis , Phelps, businessman Bill Gates, Rockefeller, artists Beethoven, Mozart, but also Spielberg, Patton, Benjamin Franklin, Disney and more.
