Why is dyslexia and aphasia rarely heard of in China?

According to my team's feedback on me, dyslexia is probably one of the most overlooked psychological problems for children in China. Many dyslexic children are either judged to have intellectual problems or are considered not serious about their studies, but few are observed and loved.

Before the 80s, it was generally believed that the incidence of dyslexia in Chinese was much lower than in the English-speaking world, so there was not enough research on dyslexia in Chinese. However, since the 80s, studies across cognitive psychology, cultural psychology and linguistics have shown that the incidence of dyslexia in Chinese is not lower than that in English. Therefore, the reason for the "Chinese peculiarity" is not that dyslexia is rarely heard in China.

But today, even though China's research on Chinese dyslexia does not lag behind the world, its application rate and attention are far lower than the world's. Most people have not heard of and do not understand what dyslexia is.

Even with occasional hearing, most people still hold the wrong opinion: "the incidence of dyslexia in Chinese is much lower than in English". According to statistics from the National Council on Learning Difficulties, 8% to 10% of people suffer from dyslexia.

The Hong Kong Special Learning Difficulties Group conducted a sample survey of 700 students in 27 schools and found that 12% of the students had dyslexia. According to a survey conducted by the Learning Disabilities Research Center of the Beijing Academy of Educational Sciences, 10% of primary and secondary school students in China have different learning disabilities, of which 100,000 are in Beijing. (Data from all over the world vary due to different diagnostic criteria).

Judging from the above data, dyslexia in Chinese is not uncommon.

In fact, most people in China believe that dyslexia is rare because we don't pay enough attention to it. In the United States, Bush has allocated $5 billion to improve reading skills in '02, but there is a lack of relevant organizations and funds to take care of these patients. Due to dyslexia, most children have low academic performance in school, cannot be understood by teachers or parents, and are even ridiculed by their classmates.

Finally, there is a big negative impact on their growth.

Because dyslexia research is mainly in the English-speaking world, in the eighties, scholars generally believed that the rate of dyslexia was very low as an expression of Chinese characters.

Many dyslexic children either have problems with judgment intelligence, are not serious about learning or are convicted. Before the eighties, it was generally believed in academic circles that China, as an expressive text, had an incidence of dyslexiaFar belowThe English-speaking world, so there is not enough attention paid to dyslexia research in China. But after the eighties, according to the research of cognitive psychology, the rate of dyslexia in cultural psychology and linguistics and Chinese was no less than that of English.

Hence the peculiarities of the so-called "Chinese", and not in China heard less dyslexia. But today, even if Chinese studies are not in the language of reading difficulties, the practicality and popularity are far less. Most people have never heard of and don't understand what dyslexia is.

Even though I've heard it, most people are wrong about the idea that "the dyslexia rate in China is much lower than in English".

According to a survey conducted by the Center for Scientific Learning Disabilities at the Beijing Institute of Education, up to 10% of primary and secondary school students in China have varying degrees of learning disabilities, including 100,000 in the urban area of Beijing. According to statistics from the National Council on Learning Disabilities, 8 to 10 percent of the country's population has a dyslexia problem. In a sample survey of 700 students in 27 schools conducted by the Hong Kong Special Learning Difficulties Group, 12% of the students had read the term.

Although this view has been proven to be incorrect, many people still hold this view, and some even take it as evidence that Chinese is a high-level language, and this erroneous view increases the reading neglect of domestic barriers.

One reason is that the public is poorly aware of this aspect. Many children with dyslexia are simply attributed to being stupid or not wanting to learn.

The second reason is that the prevalence of this disease is already lower in the Chinese-speaking world than in the English-speaking world. The prevalence of dyslexia in children in English-speaking countries is 20% to 30%, while in Chinese-speaking countries it is less than 10%, almost half of that in English-speaking countries. This is due to the nature of the text itself.

Many children with dyslexia have higher drawing and spatial imagination skills than the average person, and these skills are basically useless when reading and writing English. However, Chinese characters are ideograms developed from hieroglyphs, and reading and writing Chinese characters itself requires a certain amount of image and spatial ability. Therefore, when children with dyslexia read and write Chinese characters, their high abilities will offset some of the disadvantages, so it is relatively easy for them to read and write Chinese characters.

As a result, some Chinese children with mild dyslexia may not show any symptoms, at best moderate language scores. Only those Chinese children who are more severely ill will be affected by this. As a result, Chinese generally have fewer dyslexia than Westerners.

Sensations are generally classified in the category of mental retardation in the country.

Write in Chinese or English... If it were written in English... It's so hard ...

Pumping you teachers... The main obstacles are: low word count; Little understanding of long phrases and idioms; I don't understand the grammar of the sentence structure, and I can't distinguish the sentence structure; Reading habits are not good, too slow; Poor speaking or hearing, which can be very difficult to read!

Sometimes the structure of a sentence is not very easy to see, but you can easily show the sentence structure by reading your natural pauses (super effective).

Aphasia is a post-speech acquisition disorder, which is impaired or lost speech function, often manifested as impairment in listening, speaking, reading, writing, and calculation. Dyslexia is the loss or impairment of a normal reader's ability to understand written words due to brain damage, with or without dyslexia.

It can be seen that the difference between the two is mainly in the manifestation of symptoms. Dyslexia patients have the main manifestation of loss of reading comprehension ability; Patients with aphasia mainly have speech deficits.

A trauma patient can speak, write, and understand the conversation of others, indicating that the S, W, and H areas are normal, but the meaning of the text book is not understood, that is, dyslexia indicates that the V area is damaged, so the patient's damaged center is the visual language center

Therefore, a

According to what you are talking about, it is a theory, but your own training does not correspond to your theory, and it has nothing to do with the situation you are producing now, or if you return to normal reading, it will be improved, that is, read it out loud, but your research can only be interrupted.

Personally, I think that the universal language is actually being used now, that is, the computer language, that is, the binary 010101, but now it is limited to the general purpose of the machine, which is at least a direction, when people can communicate with each other with the simplest understanding and consciousness to achieve the purpose of global generalization, similar to every thought is an electric current or radio wave, and this is so simple that it is similar to the 010101 situation, so that everyone can communicate without barriers.

FYI.

It's a problem with the R area of the brain, high school biology.

Last week, I went with a group of volunteers to the Special Children Welfare Home in Songjiang, Shanghai, where dozens of children with dyslexia are about 5 years old. At that time, it was the first time that I had close contact with people with dyslexia, and I deliberately explained what dyslexia was, what its manifestations were, and what points to pay attention to, for fear that one would accidentally hurt their hearts.

The vast majority of us are lucky, because 20% of people in the world suffer from dyslexia, in the process of reading they need to guess the meaning of many words and sentences, and will look backwards or upside down, easy to skip lines or miss words, must use their hands to point word by word to read, for them, normal reading is a difficult challenge.

The causes of this defect include congenital visual dysfunction, mental retardation and other similar neurological disorders, as well as emotional factors and educational methods in the growth of acquired children, including the reading education of children at home and school, blindly forcing children to read unscientifically, causing them disgusting inner emotions, rejecting reading, and perfunctory.

I believe that many people have heard and seen the reports and concerns about dyslexia in the society, so why do we rarely hear about dyslexia?

First of all, the proportion of dyslexia is relatively low, generally concentrated in the childhood stage, when children begin to know shame, and generally do not easily tell their families or teachers that they have dyslexia, even if this situation will lead to poor academic performance, but they do not want to be treated specially.

Secondly, if your child doesn't like to read and doesn't get good grades, parents and teachers will only attribute it to the fact that the child doesn't like to study and doesn't need to do work, and rarely thinks about dyslexia.

Finally, whether it is the children themselves or the family school, the whole society does not have a particularly high requirement for reading, even if you don't read, you can still live without affecting your normal daily life. At the same time, the attention of this society is not high, and the state naturally invests little in this area, and there is no research without **, so this special group is rarely known.

However, if you find that you have dyslexia, don't feel inferior, this is okay, whether it is medical means or other methods, in addition, no matter what it is, I hope that the society will have more resources for them, because, we are all the same, and we are not the same!
