PSY 30312 Chapter Notes - Chapter 7: Dyslexia, Rote Learning, Seacoast Defense In The United States
Document Summary
Requires a complex intact network of nerve cells that connect our vision, language, and memory centers: most common underlying feature of a learning disorder= an inability to distinguish or to separate the sounds in spoken words. Deficit in phonological skills= critical: there are two systems that operate when one reads words these are essential in the development of reading: First system operates on individual units (phonemes) and is relatively slow. Second system operates on whole words more quickly. These children have developed their own unique reading patterns, which signals the need for teacher intervention to teach new methods: typical errors include: Reversals: horizontal flips b/d or p/q. Transpositions: sequential errors such as was/saw and scared/sacred. In addition to decoding words, reading comprehension is assessed by having a student retell a story. Decoding: breaking a work into parts rapidly enough to read the whole word.
