Jorm (1979a) has drawn attention to similarities between developmental dyslexia and
acquired deep dyslexia, an analogy which has been criticized by AW Ellis (1979). A series of
three experiments compared the two syndromes, using the techniques applied by Patterson …

Disorders of reading are frequently encountered in patients with acquired cerebral lesions.
Although these disorders were first investigated in the 19th century, investigations in the past
few decades have greatly improved our understanding of the dyslexias. In this chapter, we …

A recurrent connectionist network was trained to output semantic feature vectors when
presented with letter strings. When damaged, the network exhibited characteristics that
resembled several of the phenomena found in deep dyslexia and semantic-access dyslexia …

This paper investigates the reading performance of two patients with acquired dyslexia. The
first patient read aloud all classes of word (85–95 per cent correct), including affixed words,
but failed to read aloud non‐words. In addition, semantic judgements about written words …

A connectionist approach to word reading, based on the principles of distributed
representation, graded learning of statistical structure, and interactivity in processing, has
led to the development of explicit computational models which account for a wide range of …

Two patients with a highly selective disruption of nonword reading are described. Both
patients were able to read all types of words, made no morphological paralexic errors, but
could read only about 70% of the nonwords presented. Errors in reading nonwords resulted …

Literal dyslexia, the inability to read letters within a word which itself could be read, was
analysed in two patients. Their impairment was found not to be specific to letters but to
stimuli in which more than one item of the same category was simultaneously present in the …

Rehabilitative measures for stroke are not generally based on basic neurobiological
principles, despite evidence from animal models that certain anatomical and
pharmacological changes correlate with recovery. In this report, we use functional magnetic …

The Turkish script is characterised by completely transparent bidirectional mappings
between orthography and phonology. To date, there has been no reported evidence of
acquired dyslexia in Turkish speakers leading to the naïve view that reading and writing …

Disorders of reading are frequently encountered in patients with acquired cerebral lesions.
Investigations in the past few decades have improved our understanding of these disorders.
In this article we review the peripheral dyslexias, including neglect dyslexia, attentional …
