Occasionally, damage to the brain of an adult
|
|
|
causes bizarre
reading deficits
|
|
|
|
– |
Surface dyslexics can
read regular nonsense
|
|
words
like “mave” but mispronounce irregular
|
|
|
words like “yacht”.
|
|

Deep
dyslexics cannot deal with
nonsense
|
|
|
words
at all. They can read “yacht” correctly
|
|
|
sometimes
but sometimes misread “yacht” as
|
|
|
“boat”.
They are also much better at concrete
|
|
|
nouns
than at abstract nouns (like “peace”) or
|
|
|
verbs.
