Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to enhance the understanding of the complex and multifactorial etiology of developmental dyslexia, with particular emphasis on the interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Through the presentation of key single-deficit hypotheses related to the causes of the disorder, the analysis of the contributions of genetic and environmental factors, the presentation of the relevant research findings on the interactions between these factors, as well as the multiple deficit models for developmental dyslexia, the chapter seeks to advance the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of this heterogeneous and multifactorial learning disorder. Such multidimensional and synthetic approaches in this field are expected to provide new insights into the understanding of developmental dyslexia, while could contribute to the development of more targeted and effective educational interventions, making better use of the effects of environmental factors.
