Are Linguistic Prediction Deficits Characteristic of Adults with Dyslexia?

Individuals with dyslexia show deficits in phonological abilities, rapid automatized naming, short-term/working memory, processing speed, and some aspects of sensory visual processing. There is currently one report the literature that individuals also impairments linguistic prediction. The current study sought to investigate prediction language dyslexia. Forty-one adults 43 typically-developing controls participated. In experiment, participants made speeded-acceptability judgements sentences word final cloze manipulations. was a high-cloze probability word, low-cloze or semantically anomalous word. Reaction time from onset participants’ response recorded. Results indicated showed longer reaction times, crucially, they clear differences low predictability sentences, which consistent Conclusions focus on mechanism supporting comprehension possible reasons why less
