This brief paper, inspired by an invitation to acknowledge and celebrate Oscar Marin's great contributions to cognitive neurology and neuropsychology, reviews the case of a patient, T.P., who had significant deficits of naming, reading, and spelling. I first studied and reported this patient 35 years ago, in 1979, when I was significantly influenced by the work of Oscar Marin and his colleagues. I have recently had the unusual opportunity to do some brief reassessment of T.P.'s current (2015) cognitive abilities, and to reassess the interpretations that I had given to her pattern of impairment in the initial studies. I suggest that advances over the last decade or so-in theorizing about, and connectionist modeling of, reading and spelling disorders-enable a more coherent account of T.P.'s acquired anomia, dyslexia, and dysgraphia, and the relationships among them.
这篇短文受委托撰写,旨在认可并赞颂奥斯卡·马林对认知神经学和神经心理学所做出的卓越贡献,文中回顾了患者T.P.的病例,该患者在命名、阅读和拼写方面存在显著缺陷。我首次研究并报告该患者是在35年前,即1979年,当时我深受奥斯卡·马林及其同事研究工作的影响。最近,我有幸获得了一个难得的机会,对T.P.目前(2015年)的认知能力进行了简要重新评估,并重新审视了我在最初研究中对她的损伤模式所做的解读。我认为,在过去十年左右的时间里,在阅读和拼写障碍的理论化以及联结主义建模方面取得的进展,能够更连贯地解释T.P.后天性失命名症、诵读困难和书写困难及其相互关系。
