LECTURE 9- DYSLEXIA

Question 1

what is surface dyslexia

Answer 1

difficulties in reading irregular words such as ‘pint’ ‘the’ ‘was’

where spelling does not map onto sound

Question 2

surface dyslexia links

Answer 2

The duel route model suggests they rely exclusively on grapheme-phoneme conversion which is why they cant read these words consistently. The triangle model suggest its due to a semantic deficit.

Question 3

what is phonological dyslexia

Answer 3

difficulties reading words and non-words (pseudowords) and distinguishing between the 2.

Question 4

phonlogical dyselxia linsk

Answer 4

Phonological dyslexia links- The dual route model suggests these people rely entirely on route 2 so they cant link sound to spelling but can only rely on memory, so if presented a non word they cant read that as its not in their memory. The connectionist triangle model says people have a general phonological deficit not specific to reading.

Question 5

what is deep dyslexia

Answer 5

difficulties reading words and non-words but IMPORTANTLY via semantic Erros/ semantic substitutions.

Question 6

deep dyselxia links

Answer 6

Deep dyslexia links- Dual route model cannot account for this type of dyslexia. Connectionist tringle model attributes this dyslexia to general phonological deficit not specific to reading.
