Treatment of irregular word spelling in developmental surface dysgraphia.
An increasing number of cognitive neuropsychological treatment studies of acquired dysgraphia have been published in recent years, but to our knowledge there are no corresponding studies of developmental dysgraphia. This paper reports a cognitive neuropsychological treatment programme designed for a child with developmental surface dysgraphia. The treatment aim was to improve functioning of the...
متن کاملThe role of the Graphemic Buffer in spelling: evidence from a case of acquired dysgraphia.
A dysgraphic patient is described whose deficit is hypothesized to arise from selective damage to the Graphemic Buffer. The patient’s roughly comparable difficulties in oral and written spelling and comparable spelling difficulties in written naming, delayed copy and spelling-to-dictation rule out the hypothesis of selective damage to either input or output mechanisms. More importantly, the nat...
متن کاملPreserved orthographic length and transitional probabilities in written spelling in a case of acquired dysgraphia.
We present the performance of a patient with acquired dysgraphia, DS, who has intact oral spelling (100% correct) but severely impaired written spelling (7% correct). Her errors consisted entirely of well-formed letter substitutions. This striking dissociation is further characterized by consistent preservation of orthographic, as opposed to phonological, length in her written output. This patt...
متن کاملPredicting the Spelling Difficulty of Words for Language Learners
In many language learning scenarios, it is important to anticipate spelling errors. We model the spelling difficulty of words with new features that capture phonetic phenomena and are based on psycholinguistic findings. To train our model, we extract more than 140,000 spelling errors from three learner corpora covering English, German and Italian essays. The evaluation shows that our model pred...
متن کاملMeasuring Parsing Difficulty Across Treebanks
One of the main difficulties in statistical parsing is associated with the task of choosing the correct parse tree for the input sentence, among all possible parse trees allowed by the adopted grammar model. While this difficulty is usually evaluated by means of empirical performance measures, such as labeled precision and recall, several theoretical measures have also been proposed in the lite...
