Decreased sensitivity to phonemic mismatch in spoken word processing in adult developmental dyslexia.

چکیده
Initial lexical activation in typical populations is a direct reflection of the goodness of fit between the presented stimulus and the intended target. In this study, lexical activation was investigated upon presentation of polysyllabic pseudowords (such as procodile for crocodile) for the atypical population of dyslexic adults to see to what extent mismatching phonemic information affects lexical activation in the face of overwhelming support for one specific lexical candidate. Results of an auditory lexical decision task showed that sensitivity to phonemic mismatch was less in the dyslexic population, compared to the respective control group. However, the dyslexic participants were outperformed by their controls only for word-initial mismatches. It is argued that a subtle speech decoding deficit affects lexical activation levels and makes spoken word processing less robust against distortion.

3 Abstract The present study describes two French teenagers with developmental reading and writing impairments whose performance was compared to that of chronological age and reading-age matched non-dyslexic participants. Laurent conforms to the pattern of phonological dyslexia: he exhibits a poor performance in pseudo-word reading and spelling, produces phonologically inaccurate misspellings b...

متن کاملCross-linguistic Analysis of Developmental Dyslexia─ Does Phonology Matter in Learning to Read Chinese?
Phonological processing deficit has been ascertained to be the core cognitive deficit of developmental dyslexia—in alphabetic languages at least. Measures of phonological processing typically include three components: phonemic awareness, phonological working memory, and rapid automatic naming. Among the three tasks, phonemic awareness was the most powerful predictor of reading abilities. Becaus...
متن کاملVisual naming deficits in dyslexia: An ERP investigation of different processing domains.
Naming speed deficits are well documented in developmental dyslexia, expressed by slower naming times and more errors in response to familiar items. Here we used event-related potentials (ERPs) to examine at what processing level the deficits in dyslexia emerge during a discrete-naming task. Dyslexic and skilled adult control readers performed a primed object-naming task, in which the relations...
