Description
Miguel López-Zamora and co-authors compare thinking skills, behavior, and emotions in Spanish children with and without dyslexia. Their study appeared in 2025. One hundred twenty children aged eight to ten were assessed with standard behavior and executive function batteries. The dyslexia group showed markedly higher aggression, anxiety, depression, and attention problems. They also struggled more with resisting interference and with verbal fluency, two core executive skills.
Statistical mediation tests suggested dyslexia itself helps drive both the thinking difficulties and the emotional ones, inside and out. The authors say schools should screen beyond reading: a child failing to decode words may also be fighting distraction and low mood. Support plans, they argue, must cover behavior and feelings, not letters alone.
