Dyslexia : Auditory or Phonologic Deficit ?
نویسنده
چکیده
I would like to start by thanking the organizers of this conference for this privilege of presenting my work at this important gathering. I am happy to be back in Paris as it brings back wonderful memories of my sabbatical leave that I spent here, the friends I made and my discovery of the wealth of research going on in Europe. As for my presentation, I do hope that the facts will speak for themselves on this controversial issue of the auditory versus phonological bases of reading disability.

Lobar asymmetries in subtypes of dyslexic and control subjects.
Reading involves phonologic decoding, in which readers "sound out" a word; orthographic decoding, in which readers recognize a word visually, as in "sight reading"; and comprehension. Because reading can involve multiple processes, dyslexia might be a heterogeneous disorder. This study investigated behavior and gross lobar anatomy in subtypes of dyslexic and control subjects. Subjects aged 18 t...
متن کاملDo phonologic and rapid automatized naming deficits differentially affect dyslexic children with and without a history of language delay? A study of Italian dyslexic children.
OBJECTIVE The study aims to verify whether phonologic and rapid automatized naming (RAN) deficits are present and associated in Italian dyslexic children and whether they differentially affect dyslexics with and without a history of previous language delay (LD). BACKGROUND According to the phonologic core deficit hypothesis, dyslexia may stem from impairment of the representation and manipula...
متن کاملReproducibility of proton MR spectroscopic imaging (PEPSI): comparison of dyslexic and normal-reading children and effects of treatment on brain lactate levels during language tasks.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We repeated a proton echo-planar spectroscopic imaging (PEPSI) study to test the hypothesis that children with dyslexia and good readers differ in brain lactate activation during a phonologic judgment task before but not after instructional treatment. METHODS We measured PEPSI brain lactate activation (TR/TE, 4000/144; 1.5 T) at two points 1-2 months apart during two la...
متن کاملThe role of phonological working memory in phonological alexia
Patients with phonologic alexia show impaired pseudoword (PW) reading, and frequently are impaired in reading functors and words with affixes. Phonological alexia has been attributed to a disturbance in the orthography to phonology reading route. Alternatively, it has been hypothesized that the deficit is one of phonologic processing not specific to reading, consistent with the frequent concomi...
متن کاملIn search of the auditory, phonetic, and/or phonological problems in dyslexia: context effects in speech perception.
There is a growing consensus that developmental dyslexia is associated with a phonological-core deficit. One symptom of this phonological deficit is a subtle speech-perception deficit. The auditory basis of this deficit is still hotly debated. If people with dyslexia, however, do not have an auditory deficit and perceive the underlying acoustic dimensions of speech as well as people who read no...
