| Abstract: | We report an eye-movement study that demonstrates differences in regularity effects between adult developmental dyslexic and
control non-impaired readers, in contrast to findings from a large number of word recognition studies (see G. Brown, 1997). For low frequency words, controls showed an advantage for Regular items, in which grapheme-to-phoneme strategies could
be employed, compared with Irregular Consistent and Inconsistent items, in which rime comparisons or whole word recognition
strategies would be advantageous. We propose that in sentential contexts, dyslexic readers do not generate sufficient phonological
cues in the parafovea in order to demonstrate the regularity effects typical of unimpaired readers (e.g., S. Sereno & K. Rayner,
2000). These findings suggest that phonological strategies are sensitive to task demands, and underline the impact of methodology
on the conclusions that are drawn about dyslexic reading ability.
