6. In surface dyslexia, what does the problem with irregular words affect most?

  • Low frequency words (Frequency x regularity)
  • Irregular words (Frequency / regularity)
  • High frequency words (Frequency x regularity)
  • Regular words (Frequency / regularity)

7. Is there a double dissassociation between surface and phonological dyslexia?

  • Yes
  • No

8. What is a lexicalisation error?

  • Pronouncing irregular spelling words as if they are regular (pint --> pinnt)
  • A non-word being read as a SIMILAR LOOKING real word (fint --> fine, poat --> boat)
  • A real word being read as a SIMILAR LOOKING non word (fint --> fine, poat --> boat)

9. Which characterises phonological dyslexia?

  • Damage to dorsal, problems with sound
  • Damage to ventral, problems with meaning
  • Damage to both ventral and dorsal, problems with meaning and sound

10. What is the correct order in 'steps towards writing'?

  • Execute graphomotor pattern, select allograph, select grapheme
  • Select grapheme, select allograph, execute graphomotor pattern
  • Select allograph, select grapheme, execute graphomotor pattern
  • Execute graphomotor pattern, select grapheme, select allograph

11. What is the nature of the double dissassociation between phonological dyslexia and surface dyslexia?

  • Phono = Non words impaired, irregular words preserved. Surface = Nonwords preserved, irregular words impaired
  • Phono = Nonwords preserved, irregular words impaired, Surface = = Non words impaired, irregular words preserved
  • Phono = Non words impaired, irregular words preserved, Surface = Non words impaired, irregular words preserved

12. What kind of errors do pps with surface dyslexia make?

  • Regularisation errors
  • Semantic errors
  • Phonological errors
  • No errors

13. Which of these can be seen from pps with phonological dyslexia?

  • Better at familiar words > non-words and inverted nonwords
  • Better at concrete words > abstract
  • Better at regular words high frequency words > irregular low frequency words

14. What do the deficits in phonological dyslexia suggest?

  • A weak dorsal route and a relatively intact ventral route
  • A weak ventral route an relatively intact dorsal route
  • A damaged dorsal route and intact ventral route
  • A damaged ventral route and intact dorsal route

15. What are characteristic of pps with deep dysgraphia?

  • Inability to spell inverted non-words and semantic errors
  • Inability to spell inverted non-words and phonological errors
  • Inability to spell inverted words and semantic errors
  • Inability to spell inverted words and phonological errors

16. Which places the most demand on control processes?

  • Talking
  • Spelling
  • Reading

17. How are familiar words processed when we read?

  • Parallel
  • Serial

18. What do patients with surface dyslexia misread?

  • LOW frequency words
  • REGULAR words (spelling).
  • IRREGULAR words (spelling)
  • HIGH frequency words

19. Shown by pps with surface dyslexia, what is the regularisation effect?

  • Words with regular spellings are read faster and more accurately than irregular spellings
  • Words with irregular spellings are read faster and more accurately than regular spellings

20. What do the deficits seen in surface dyslexia suggest?

  • Over-reliance on the dorsal route (GPC rules & conversion) following ventral route damage
  • Over-reliance on the ventral route (GPC rules & conversion) following dorsal route damage
