Phonological processing in reading: data from alexia

Case Reports

Phonological processing in reading: data from alexia

J Dérouesné et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1979 Dec.

Abstract

The reading of four subjects suffering from a phonological reading impairment as a result of a cerebral lesion was tested. A double dissociation observed in their results is strong evidence for the existence of two functionally independent kinds of phonological processing in reading--a graphemic and a phonetic one.
