    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Linguistics

    Background:

    • This case study examines a 17-year-old female, H.M., with average intelligence and strong oral vocabulary.
    • H.M. presents with significant reading impairments, particularly with non-word stimuli, suggesting a specific learning disorder.

    Observation:

    • H.M. struggles with reading long nonsense words and unusual regular words, often producing lexicalizations.
    • Her reading errors include derivational and visual paralexias, but not semantic errors or regularization.
    • She exhibits better reading of non-words that are homophonic with real words, indicating phonological processing challenges.

    Findings:

    • H.M.'s reading age is estimated at 10 years and 11 months.
    • Her performance is not affected by spelling-to-sound regularity or word length.
    • A deficit in reading function words is noted in continuous text, despite no word class effect in single-word reading.

    Implications:

    • The observed pattern of reading and spelling errors aligns with acquired phonological dyslexia.
    • H.M. is diagnosed with developmental phonological dyslexia, highlighting the importance of early identification and intervention.
    • This case contributes to understanding the diverse manifestations of dyslexia and its underlying cognitive mechanisms.
