Naming-Speed Deficits in Developmental Reading Disabilities: An Introduction to the Special Issue on the Double-Deficit Hypothesis.
Wolf, Maryanne; Bowers, Patricia G.
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v33 n4 p322-24 Jul-Aug 2000
This article introduces a special issue on the double-deficit hypothesis for dyslexic readers' failure to acquire adequate word recognition skills. This theory suggests that dyslexic readers have a deficit in naming speed in addition to the more widely recognized deficit in phonological decoding skill. (Contains references.) (DB)
