Abstract
Results The positive APD and dyslexia group had significant lower results (standard scores) than the group without APD and dyslexia in both tasks (grapheme discrimination task, auditory discrimination task) for children aged 8 and 9 years old. On the other hand, for older children, aged 10 years old and up, the results did not have important differences in both groups (control and positive APD and dyslexia).
