A preprint abstract discusses a study that aims to investigate different types of acquired dyslexia within a computational model of reading. The primary systems hypothesis suggests that reading involves interactions between visual-orthographic, phonological, and semantic systems. The researchers developed a multi-layer triangle model of reading that includes visual, orthographic, phonological, and semantic processing layers. By damaging different components of the model, they were able to simulate the reading impairments associated with pure alexia, phonological dyslexia, and surface dyslexia. This study provides support for the primary systems hypothesis and suggests that both central and peripheral dyslexia can be addressed within a single model. However, it is important to note that this preprint has not been peer-reviewed. [Extracted from the article] |
