Three groups of reading-disabled children were found in studies of English, German, and French: a group with a double deficit in reading and spelling, a group with a single spelling deficit, and a more rarely reported group presenting a single reading deficit. This study set out to examine whether these groups can be found in adults, readers and spellers of Hebrew, which differs from the previously studied orthographies in many aspects. To this end, Hebrew-speaking adults with or without reading disability were administered various literacy and literacy-related tests. Results confirm the existence of the same three groups. While all shared a phonological deficit, subtle differences in phonological decoding ability and in speed of processing distinguished between the groups. The study therefore suggests that the previously reported associations and dissociations between reading and spelling are not restricted to English, German, or French and may not be only developmental in nature.
在对英语、德语和法语的研究中发现了三组阅读障碍儿童:一组在阅读和拼写方面存在双重缺陷,一组存在单一的拼写缺陷,还有一组较少被报道,表现为单一的阅读缺陷。本研究旨在检验在希伯来语的成年读者和拼写者中是否也能找到这些组,希伯来语在许多方面与之前研究的正字法不同。为此,对有或没有阅读障碍的希伯来语成年使用者进行了各种读写能力及与读写相关的测试。结果证实了这三组的存在。虽然所有人都存在语音缺陷,但语音解码能力和处理速度上的细微差异区分了这些组。因此,该研究表明,之前报道的阅读和拼写之间的关联及分离不仅限于英语、德语或法语,而且可能并非仅在发展过程中存在。
