The ability to learn visual-phonological associations is a unique predictor of word reading, and individuals with developmental dyslexia show impaired ability in learning these associations. In this study, we compared developmentally dyslexic and nondyslexic adults on their ability to form cross-modal associations (or "bindings") based…

The cued forgetting of reading-delayed boys was compared developmentally with that of normal reading agemates. First-, third-, and fifth-grade boys were presented with slides of common objects. Remember (R) and forget (F) cues followed each picture. Differentiation between R and F items increased as a function of developmental level and reading…

The subjects, eight good readers and eight poor readers, identified paired words as "same" or "different" in category, with some words more highly associated with the category than others--in the "fruit" category, for…
