What is Alexia?
(acquired dyslexia)
Is the loos of the ability to read (acquired dyslexia)
What is Agraphia?
Is the loss of the ability to write
What damage you are more likely to have after damage to the Angular Gyrus( at the intersection of pariental, occipital, and temporal lobe?
Alexia and Agraphia
What are the two distinct routes that can pass informartion in visual linguistic format throught meaning and speaking?
Phonological (no lexical) to read sound to link meaning of words and direct route (lexical) asscociated with meaning, without the use of a phonological if reading silently
What is Grapheme
reading the letter combination
What is Phoneme?
The smallest unit of sound that can signal meaning
how you pronounce
What is the difference between phonemic and phonetic representation of speech sounds?
Phonemic focuses on meaning, while phonetic focuses on sound production
What is an example of phonetic representation of a speech sound?
A) The sound /s/ in the word ‘sat’ produced with a hissing sound
B) The sound /t/ in the word ‘tap’ produced without a burst of air
C) The sound /p/ in the word ‘pill’ produced with a burst of air

Choices
A) At the alveolar ridge
B) At the lips
C) At the velar palate
D) At the back of the mouth
A) At the alveolar ridge
The obstruction of airflow is crucial in the production of different con
Lexical route
list of words that we know already
we look at it and we know what it is
Phonological routo to reading( no-lexical)
Once you can pronounce the world, you can recognize its meaning
Direct route to reading ( lexical)
The wolrd itself to meaning, without any grapheme-phoneme
What patient with Phological dyslexia (acquired) have in disruption?
Phonological route. They have trouble reading previously learned words, because meaning can be extracted from visual form. They would have hard time to pronounce but eventually woud get there. However it would no longer have the ability to read pseudowords.
What patient with surface dyslexia have in disruption?
Direct route- They cannot link the visual form of a word directly to meaning/ They cannot read irregular words, they confuse tthe meaning of homophenes such as pane and pain. They can read pseudowords and regular words out loud
