Phonological processing and rapid naming in adult student with dyslexia

Dyslexia, phonological processing in

Two main proximal causes have been considered. Historically, the initial hypothesis was that of a visual deficit (“congenital word blindness”, coined by William Pringle-Morgan in 1896). In the 1970s, it became evident that what had been interpreted as visual letter confusions were better explained by phonological confusions. Over the last three decades it has been well established that most cas...

Relationship between rapid naming, phonological awareness and spelling in Farsi normally developing children

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to investigate relationship among phonological awareness, rapid naming and spelling in normally developing Farsi speaking children. Materials and Methods: In this description- analytical cross sectional study 30 normally developing students randomly selected from Tehran (Iran). The students performed Nama reading and dyslexia, rapid automatized nam...

Surface and Phonological Dyslexia: Modes of Processing Instead of Components of Processing (Best student paper)

Two connectionist models are reported that mimicked the defining features of the double dissociation between phonological and surface dyslexia in word reading. One model was a feed-forward, three-layer perceptron, and the other included recurrent connections. Neither model contained an architectural separation of sublexical and lexical processes, nor of phonological and semantic processes. Anal...
