The Status of Double Letters in Graphemic Representations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the issue of the structure of graphemic output representations via an analysis of the spelling performance of a patient with acquired dysgraphia. It is argued that the patient’s pattern of performance with words that contain double letters (e.g., ‘‘bb’’ in ‘‘rabbit’’) is inconsistent with the view that graphemic representations are simple linear sequences of graphemes (or abstract letter identities). Rather, it is proposed that graphemic representations are multidimensional structures that separately encode information about grapheme identity and grapheme quantity. © 1996 Academic

Varieties of Pure Alexia: the Case of Failure to Access Graphemic Representations.
We document the case of a patient (GV) w ho, following a left posterior brain lesion, showed a selective and severe deficit in naming visual objects and in reading letters, words, and numerals. Three sets of findings are critical for the interpretation of the patient's alexia. First, despite intact visual processing abilities and preserved ability to recognise the shape and orientation of lette...
متن کاملRepresentations of Double Coset Lie Hypergroups
We study the double cosets of a Lie group by a compact Lie subgroup. We show that a Weil formula holds for double coset Lie hypergroups and show that certain representations of the Lie group lift to representations of the double coset Lie hypergroup. We characterize smooth (analytic) vectors of these lifted representations.
متن کاملMental rotation of letters and shapes in developmental dyslexia.
Extending the work of Corballis et al (1985, Cortex 21 225-236), we investigated mental rotation of letters (experiment 1), and of letters and shapes (experiment 2) in normal readers and developmental dyslexics. Whereas the overall response times were equal for shapes in both groups, for letters they were slower in dyslexics. For letters as well as for shapes, however, the same mental-rotation ...
متن کاملThe effects of stimulus competition and voluntary attention on colour-graphemic synaesthesia.
Colour-graphemic synaesthetes experience vivid colours when reading letters, digits and words. We examined the effect of stimulus competition and attention on these unusual colour experiences in 14 synaesthetes and 14 non-synaesthetic controls. Participants named the colour of hierarchical local-global stimuli in which letters at each level elicited synaesthetic colours that were congruent or i...
متن کاملWatercolor illusion induced by synesthetic colors.
1 Introduction Synesthesia, which literally means a mixing of the senses, takes on various forms, but the most common is the experience of color when viewing achromatic alphanumeric characters (Day 2005; Rich and Mattingley 2002). Called`color-graphemic synesthesia', this condition has attracted great interest recently, in part because of its potential implications for understanding neural plas...
