All subjects gave their informed consent prior to inclusion in the study, and all were paid volunteers. The dyslexic readers were recruited through the Student Support Service of the University of Haifa, which assists students with learning disabilities. They were diagnosed as dyslexic during childhood and classified as impaired readers by the Student Support Service. The controls were recruited by notices posted on bulletin boards on the University campus. The experiment was approved by the University of Haifa ethics committee.
