Previous neuropsychological studies on acquired dyslexia revealed a double dissociation in reading impairments. Patients with phonological dyslexia have selective difficulty in reading pseudo-words, while those with surface dyslexia misread exception words. This double dissociation in reading abilities has often been reported in brain-damaged patients, but it has not been consistently shown in ...

In this study, we aimed to determine the validity of double-deficit hypothesis, which argues that reading difficulties arise due inadequacies in phonological awareness and rapid naming, relation a transparent language such as Turkish. Accordingly, children attending kindergarten were assigned four groups: group (n = 23), deficit 35), naming 29) or control 48) according scores they received on m...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Double inversion recovery has been suggested as the MR imaging contrast of choice for segmenting cortical lesions in patients with multiple sclerosis. In this study, we sought to determine the utility of double inversion recovery for cortical lesion identification by comparing 3 MR imaging reading protocols that combine different MR imaging contrasts. MATERIALS AND METH...

The present study examined two input modification techniques, namely lexical elaboration (LE) and typographical enhancement (TE), the combination of these (LE & TE) to seek difference among them as far incidental vocabulary learning through reading is concerned. Ninety six Iranian EFL students whose proficiency was at intermediate level were divided into four groups respectively read te...
