LUKASOVA, Katerina; BARBOSA, Anna Carolina Cassiano y MACEDO, Elizeu Coutinho de. Phonological discrimination and memory in children with dyslexia and good readers. PsicoUSF [online]. 2009, vol.14, n.1, pp.1-9. ISSN 1413-8271.
The present study assessed the syllables' phonological discrimination ability in children with developmental dyslexia and good readers. 10 dyslexics and 10 controls matched for age, gender, school grade, intelligence and attention participated in the study. 45 pairs of syllables differentiated by sound, point of articulation and identical syllables were presented in forced choice tests SOUND/SOUND and SOUND/LETTER. The inter stimuli time varied from short, medium and long. The results showed between-group differences in SOUND/SOUND test with dyslexics doing worse than good readers in sound syllables and point of articulation syllables with long intervals. Analysis of the syllables pairs showed lower score for dyslexics in sound syllables (/KA/-/GA/ and /FA/-/VA/) and point of articulation syllables (/ZA/-/VA/). The results showed faster loss of phonological information in dyslexic children working memory.
