The difference between the mean CS for each of the four test frequencies is highly significant ( F (3) = 50.48, p < 0.0001 for dyslexics and F (3) = 45.95, p < 0.0001 for normal students), supporting the hypothesis that the low spatial frequency test patterns, i.e., 0.25 and 0.5 cyc/deg, are processed differently, using probability summation across higher spatial frequency neural channels, than the higher spatial frequency test patterns, i.e., 1 and 2 cyc/deg, activating one-octave wide spatial frequency channels (Blakemore and Campbell, 1969 ).
