Abstract
Dissecting Dyslexia and Learning: Difficulties in learning to read, despite reasonable effort and instruction, form the basis of dyslexia.Gabrieli(p.280; see the cover) now reviews the latest research into the causes of dyslexia. Neuroimaging studies may give early notice of impending dyslexia, and it is hoped that early interventions may lessen the impact of dyslexia. Learning occurs in many settings. Humans uniquely use the formalized settings of schools and curriculum. Infants and children also do plenty of learning outside these settings, often intermingling social interactions.Meltzoffet al.(p.284) survey the variety of learning contexts that people experience and discuss how recent advances in neuroscience and robotics are driving a new synthesis of learning.Keywords
