Dyslexic individuals exhibit slow reaction times (RTs) in Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN) tasks. Using hierarchical Bayesian meta-analysis, we asked whether slower processing in dyslexia extends beyond RAN to include RT-based motor-skills and nonverbal tasks (simple, choice, interference control). Following a systematic review, we identified studies comparing dyslexic and age-matched neurotypical groups on RT-based tasks. For RAN, we restricted study selection to letter-naming tasks (30 studies [k], 37 effects [m]), and found a large slowing effect in dyslexia (
