Abstract

We investigated whether the reading strategies of dyslexic adults differ from those of typically-developing adults with basic reading skills, by manipulating item’s length and frequency in a lexical decision task. Whereas basic literate showed length effects for words and nonwords, dyslexics showed a smaller and specific length effect for nonwords.
