Given that successful reading requires individuals to extract patterns and regularities from the reading environment,researchers have begun to pay increasing attention to whether dyslexics have statistical learning deficits.Statistical learning,the ability of individuals to unconsciously extract patterns and regularities from the reading environment,is one of the foundations of language acquisition.Recent studies indicate that dyslexics demonstrate deficits in statistical learning at both behavioral and neural levels.However,the relationship between statistical learning deficits and dyslexia remains controversial.This may be due to factors such as individual difference,modality and stimulus type,and orthographic depth of language.Future research needs to further investigate the causal relationship between statistical learning deficits and reading ability in dyslexia using longitudinal and intervention studies,examining the learning performance of dyslexics in different modality types,as well as clarifying the relationship between statistical learning and attentional and memory systems,and ultimately constructing a model of the relationship between statistical learning and reading ability in dyslexia.
