A Strategy for Assessing Problems in Word Recognition among Dyslexics.

Hoien, Torleiv; Lundberg, Ingvar

Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v33 n3 p185-201 1989

This article argues for the importance of studying word-recognition strategies in the assessment of dyslexia. The dual-route model is defended despite attacks from supporters of computational models of modern connectionism. A computer-based diagnostic test battery is described and illustrated via 2 case studies of 15-year-old dyslexic boys in Norway. (TJH)
