What does phonological dyslexia mean?

Phonological dyslexia is a reading disability that is a form of alexia (acquired dyslexia), resulting from brain injury, stroke, or progressive illness and that affects previously acquired reading abilities.

Is poor phonological awareness dyslexia?

Children with dyslexia often have poor phonological awareness, which is seen as an important predictor of their poor reading abilities (Boets et al., 2010).

Is phonological dyslexia hereditary?

Such processes include those of short‐term memory, phonological awareness, rapid naming, and phonological and orthographic coding (table 1​). In recent years, several theories have been developed with the aim of characterising the basic processes underlying dyslexia.

Does phonological dyslexia affect spelling?

In phonological dyslexia and dysgraphia, the lexical route is preserved, enabling the reading and spelling of familiar words, while the nonlexical route is impaired, affecting performance on spelling patterns that have no representation as real words.

How would you differentiate phonological and surface dyslexia?

However, only the lexical route can successfully read exception words, since these words break rules of grapheme-phoneme correspondences. The HS model read regular words, exception words, and pseudowords via a single procedure.

How do you test for phonological memory?

One well-established method of testing phonological memory in grade-school children is a a pseudoword repetition task (Gathercole, Willis, Baddeley, & Emslie, 1994). In this type oftask, children are asked to repeat increasingly long nonce words, until they can no longer repeat the pseudowords.
