Model of Reading Flashcards
What are the processes in the Kaye et al., model involved in reading? Briefly explain what they do
Visual Orthographic Analysis - identifies letters, codes letters for position, may parse into ‘graphemes’
Orthographic Input Lexicon - a store of visual word recognition recognition units; accesses within word forms by recognising the word as a familiar one
Semantic System - a store of word meanings activated in response to written word recognition
What are the 5 main types of reading disorders?
Peripheral dyslexias:
1. Visual dyslexia
2. Pure dyslexia
Central dyslexias:
3. Surface dyslexia
4. Deep dyslexia
5. Phonological dyslexia
Describe the presentation of visual dyslexia
- a consequence of difficulty identifying and recognising the visual form of the word either at the level of VOA or subsequent access to OIL
- errors typically involving the misidentification of a word for a visually similar one
Describe the presentation of pure dyslexia
‘Letter by letter readers’
- words/nonwords read slowly and effortfully
- reading time increases with word length
- no difficulties recognising spelled word or saying the words once it is recognised
Describe the presentation of surface dyslexia
- impairment in OIL (difficulty in visual lexical decision task)
Can use non-lexical route to sound out words letter by letter, meaning:
- spared regular words
- slightly impaired irregular words
- spared nonwords (as OPC is fine)
- pseudo-homophones: make errors and identify as ‘real’ words
- frequency effects
- length effects
Errors: - regularisation errors
- visual errors
- misapplication of letter/sound rules
Describe the presentation of deep dyslexia
Impairments to: OIL, SS, OPC
All reading routes have some impairment and therefore:
- regular words, irregular words, nonwords all have some impairment
- frequency effects
- imageability effects
- grammatical class effects
Errors: - semantic (main!)
- visual
- morphological
- functor substitution
- visual and semantic
Describe the presentation of phonological dyslexia
Impairment to non-lexical route - at OPC
Spared:
- regular and irregular words
Non-words/unfamiliar words:
- impaired
What are the 3 routes for reading?
- Lexical Semantic - reading for comprehension, all words, regular and irregular
- Lexical non-semantic - bypasses SS: all words, regular and irregular
- Non-lexical - letter/sound conversion: regular words and non-words
List the effects you would expect to see at each process in the reading routes:
VOA - length
OIL - frequency
SS - class, imageability, morphology
POL - frequency
PAB - syllable length
OPC - regularity, lexicality, letter length
List PALPA tasks to assess VOA
- letter discrimination
- visual lexical decision
list PALPA tasks to assess SS
- word reading
list PALPA tasks to assess SS and access to SS
SS:
- word reading
Access to SS:
- homophone-define-then-read
List PALPA subtests to assess GPC
- letter naming and sounding
List PALPA subtests to assess PAB
- syllable length reading
List PALPA subtests to assess lexical vs. non-lexical reading
- homophone decision
- letter length reading
- spelling/sound regularity
Non-lexical reading: - nonword reading
