Abstract: The core defects of developmental dyslexia have long been the concern of researchers. In recent years, a large number of studies have found that defects of visual processing may be an important cause of dyslexia, among which visual crowding effect is closely related to. This paper will review the concepts, theories and researches of visual crowding effect of Chinese and Alphabetic dyslexia, and then put forward to the research direction of visual crowding effect of Chinese dyslexia in the future, so as to better understand the relationship between Chinese dyslexia and visual crowding effect.

Key words: developmental dyslexia, visual crowding effect, gap
