Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Cognitive Psychology
- Linguistics
Background:
- Dysgraphia can result from complex cognitive impairments following neurological events like stroke.
- Individuals may exhibit spelling errors due to damage in auditory processing, phonology-orthography conversion, and the orthographic output lexicon.
