Phonological processing in reading: data from alexia.

J Dérouesné, M F Beauvois
PMCID: PMC490428  PMID: 533851

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.
