Predictors of Exception Word and Nonword Reading in Dyslexic Children: The Severity Hypothesis.

Griffiths, Yvonne M.; Snowling, Margaret J.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v94 n1 p34-43 Mar 2002

Multiple regression methods were used to examine continuous variation in component reading subskills and their underlying cognitive skills within a group of 9 to 15-year-old children. Results are discussed within a connectionist framework that views the decoding deficit in dyslexia as stemming from poorly specified phonological representations. (Author)
