Developmental and Acquired Dyslexia: Some Observations on Jorm (1979).

Ellis, Andrew W.

Cognition, v7 n4 p413-20 Dec 1979

Jorm's proposal (EJ 205 636) that developmental dyslexics resemble brain-damaged deep dyslexics is not grounded on firm evidence. Holmes' likening of developmental dyslexia to acquired surface dyslexia at least demonstrates clear similarity between the errors made by the two groups. (Author/CP)
