| | Abstract | Following brain damage, skilled readers may encounter more severe problems in reading nonwords than familiar words, a type of deficit referred to as phonological dyslexia. We report two individuals with Alzheimer’s disease who show phonological dyslexia. Although highly accurate in reading familiar words aloud (even those with irregular spelling, e.g., sew), they were quite impaired in nonword reading. Both patients performed well in phonological tasks involving the repetition, identification, and manipulation of phonemes of orally presented words and nonwords. These results challenge the account proposed in the context of connectionist and evolutionary theories that phonological dyslexia originates from a phonological deficit. These results are consistent with reading models like the dual-route model that attribute phonological dyslexia to a deficit that selectively affects the reading mechanisms responsible for deriving the sounds of nonwords. According to these models, such a deficit is not necessarily accompanied by a more general phonological impairment.
