The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of word stress location in neglect dyslexia. An assessment was made of stress assignment in reading Italian words in 13 patients with neglect dyslexia and 13 matched normal individuals. The correspondence in stress location between target and neglect errors was preserved in 9 patients. Moreover, the proportion of words with stress on the penultimate syllable was about 50% and that on the antepenultimate syllable was also about 50%. This pattern is significantly different from the distribution observed in the Italian lexicon, in which the majority of polysyllabic words are stressed on the penultimate syllable. This result cannot be expected from the application of a "regularization" strategy associated with the operation of a nonlexical reading pathway. Taken together, these findings lead to the conclusion that lexical stress is part of the lexical information preserved in neglect dyslexia.
本研究的目的是调查重音位置在忽视性阅读障碍中的作用。对13例忽视性阅读障碍患者和13名匹配的正常个体阅读意大利语单词时的重音分配进行了评估。9例患者目标词与忽视性错误的重音位置对应关系得以保留。此外，倒数第二个音节重读的单词比例约为50%，倒数第三个音节重读的单词比例也约为50%。这种模式与意大利语词汇中观察到的分布显著不同，在意大利语词汇中，大多数多音节词在倒数第二个音节重读。这一结果无法通过与非词汇阅读通路操作相关的“规范化”策略来预期。综上所述，这些发现得出结论，词汇重音是忽视性阅读障碍中保留的词汇信息的一部分。
