| Abstract: | This study was conducted to determine if the phonemic awareness skills of college-aged dyslexic students (n=10) differ from
those of their nondyslexic peers (n=10). Both groups were tested on reading of real and nonsense words and a phoneme reversal
task. Although the dyslexic subjects had received considerable language remediation and were all succeeding at their college
studies at a level that did not significantly differ from the nondyslexic subjects, they performed significantly poorer on
two measures of phonemic awareness: reading of nonsense words and increased error rate and response time on reversal of common
three phoneme words. These results were interpreted to suggest that although the dyslexic subjects had improved their reading
skills there remained a fundamental deficit in their ability to process phonological information quickly and accurately. |
