Surface errors without semantic impairment in acquired dyslexia: a voxel-based lesion–symptom mapping study

摘要

Patients with "surface" dyslexia characteristically mispronounce irregular words by over-reliance on pronunciation rules (e.g., reading plaid as "played"). Binder et al. identify neuroanatomical correlates of these "regularization" errors, and show that such errors can occur independent of damage to the semantic memory system.
