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?
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?
17. How are familiar words processed when we read?
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
