Fundamental to this book is an attempt to understand the nature of individual differences in word and nonword reading by connecting three literatures that have developed largely in isolation from one another: the literatures on acquired dyslexia, difficulties in learning to read, and precocious reading.

Psychology Press

This volume presents a comprehensive state-of-the-art account of what is currently known about the psychology of reading. All the fundamental aspects of reading are considered: visual attention, visual feature analysis, visual masking, letter and word recognition, priming effects, eye movements in reading, phonological processing, working memory and reading, parsing, sentence comprehension, and text integration. The subject of reading is approached from a variety of different theoretical perspectives, including cognitive psychology, connectionism, neuropsychology, and linguistics. This broad and comprehensive review will be of value not only for undergraduate and graduate teaching but also for research workers engaged in experimental or theoretical investigations of any aspect of the psychology of reading.

PALPA has been designed as a comprehensive psycholinguistic assessment of language processing in adult acquired aphasia. Intended both as a clinical instrument and research tool, PALPA is a set of resource materials enabling the user to select language tasks that can be tailored to the investigation of an individual patient's impaired and intact abilities. The detailed profile that results can be interpreted within current cognitive models of language. The materials consist of sixty rigorously controlled tests of components of language structure such as orthography and phonology, word and picture semantics and morphology and syntax. The tests make use of simple procedures such as lexical decision, repetition and picture naming and have been designed to assess spoken and written input and output modalities. Particular attention has been paid to practical use of the tests in the clinic and comprehensive guides have been included that help to suggest which selection of test may be appropriate for each aphasic person. Each test is also accompanied by detailed instructions of how and why it was constructed, how to use it, and by presenter's forms and marking sheets. PALPA is supplied as two ring binders with each subtest being a separate sheet, making it easier to take them out to photocopy. There are 6 sections, as follows: • bk. 1. Introduction • bk. 2. Auditory processing • bk. 3. Reading and spelling • bk. 4. Picture and word semantics • bk. 5. Sentence comprehension • bk. 6. Copy masters The first ring binder includes sections 1-3 and the second 4ring binder sections 4-6.

La bateria EPLA, adaptación española del PALPA, es una batería de tests que puede servir de instrumento de evaluación de las capacidades psicolingüísticas de pacientes adultos con afasias adquiridas. El enfoque desde el que se ha elaborado EPLA es el de la Neuropsicologia Cognitiva y permite a psicólogos y neuropsicólogos, de orientación tanto teórica como aplicada, conocer con bastante detalle las habilidades lingüisticas intactas y las que han sufrido algún deterioro. El perfil obtenido se puede interpretar dentro de los modelos psicolingüisticos actuales, explicitados en la Introducción.EPLA consta de 58 pruebas rigurosamente controladas y está dividada en cuatro partes: Procesamiento Fonológico, Lectura y Escritura, Comprensión de Palabras y Dibujos y Comprensión de Oraciones. Las distintas pruebas hacen uso de tareas sencillas, por ejemplo, decisión léxica, repetición o denominación de dibujos, encaminadas a explorar la comprensión y producción del lenguaje hablado y escrito.En cada una de las 58 pruebas se hace una pequeña descripción de la misma con indicación de las variables controladas y de las razones por las que se incluye tal prueba y se proporcionan posibles causas o explicaciones de los distintos patrones de respuesta obtenidos. Además se hacen algunas sugerencias sobre cómo continuar la investigación para obtener un informe más detallado. Cada prueba va acompañada de hojas de presentación, recogida de datos y hojas resumen, asi como de los datos normativos de 22 sujetos sin daño cerebral.

De PALPA is een uitgebreide testbatterij, ontworpen voor het onderzoeken van de psycholinguistische vermogens van volwassen patienten met een verworven afasie. De PALPA is zowel een diagnostisch als een onderzoekinstrument en bevat een hoeveelheid materiaal die de gebruiker in staat stelt om taken te selecteren die zijn toegesneden op de gestoorde en intacte vermogens van de individuele patient. Het resultaat is een gedetailleerd profiel dat kan worden geinterpreteerd in termen van huidige cognitieve taalmodellen. Het materiaal bestaat uit 52 nauwkeurig gecontroleerde tests op woordnieveau en betreft de verschillende componenten van de taalstructuur, zoals orthografie en fonologie, woord- en beeldsemantiek en morfologie. De tests maken gebruik van eenvoudige procedures, zoals lexicale decisie, herhalen en benoemen van plaatjes en zijn ontworpen om de gesproken en geschreven input- en outputmodaliteiten te onderzoeken. Er is speciale aandacht besteed aan het gebruik in de kliniek en er zijn duidelijke aanwijzingen bijevouegd, die behulpzaam kunnen zijn bij het selecteren van vervolgtests voor de betreffende patient. Bij elke test is bovendien een gedetailleerde beschrijving gegeven over hoe en waarom de test is samengesteld en hoe de test te gebruiken. Per test zijn proefleider- en scoreformulieren bijgevoegd.
