Abstract
► Dyslexia was suggested to result from impaired statistical learning (anchoring). ► We compare dyslexics', ADHD subjects', and controls' anchoring abilities. ► We compare them on simple sounds, in verbal working memory, and in non-word reading. ► Dyslexics but not ADHD subjects are impaired in anchoring in all domains. ► An impaired anchoring mechanism can explain dyslexics' deficits across domains.
