Table 2. Median vocal RTs (top) and accuracy (bottom) for zigzag novel words (NW). Each child with dyslexia was individually matched with a typically developing reader on the basis of his/her performance on both vocal RTs and percentage of errors in reading zigzag novel words at the pre-training session (baseline). Individual dyslexic-control pairs of readers are presented in each row. The “PRE” column represents the baseline performance in the first session with the 50 zigzag novel words. The “POST: trained NW” column reports performance after 22 sessions with the same list. The “POST: untrained NW” column reports performance on a new list of 50 novel words (matched for bigram frequency and initial phoneme with the trained list). Individual and averaged group data are reported separately for children with dyslexia and typically developing readers.
