The goal was to investigate orthographic and semantic contributions to morphological priming and compare these effects with pure orthographic and semantic priming. The time course of these effects was analyzed in anatomically defined ROIs that were selected according to previous MEG and fMRI findings. The results showed that morphological processing was not localized in one specific area but distributed over a vast network that involved left inferior temporal gyrus, left superior temporal gyrus, left inferior frontal gyrus, and left orbitofrontal gyrus. Second, all morphological effects were specific, that is, in none of the ROIs could morphology effects be explained by pure orthographic or pure semantic overlap. Third, the ventral route was sensitive to both the orthographic and semantic “part” of the m...

However, evidence for the morphological chunking of prefixed words is sparse and ambiguous. The goal of the present study was to directly contrast the processing of prefixed and suffixed pseudo- words within the same experiment. We carried out a masked primed lexical decision experiment, in which the same target (AMOUR [LOVE]) was preceded by a prefixed (préamour [prelove]), a nonprefixed (brosamour [broslove]), a suffixed (amouresse [lovedom]), and a nonsuffixed (amourugne [lovedel]) prime. The results revealed significant priming across all four conditions. Moreover, priming was modulated by individual differences in reading profi- ciency. High-proficiency readers showed evidence forembedded stempriming effects, independent of whether stems occurred in combination with a real affix or a nonaffix. This finding is of relevance to recent morphological proces- sing theories, suggesting that embedded stems represent salient activation units during the reading of complex pseudowords.

Unfortunately, as adults, these children face serious obstacles in their socioprofessional insertion. This article attempts to identify certain causes of this failure and examines more specifically the family's attitude towards the child's reading disorder and reviews certain reading remediation. The results show that the family's attitudes towards dyslexia, associated with the system of shared family beliefs (family myth), determine the involvement of the parents and the children in the reading remediation and consequently its progression. Importantly, the efficiency of the remediation depends not only on the techniques used but also on the collaboration between the speech therapist and the family unit.

The children were required to detect a two or three letter target string at the initial position of a familiar or unfamiliar word. For example, target strings such as 'ga' or 'gar' had to be detected in the words 'garage' and 'garçon'. The target strings had either a CV or CVC structure which either matched or did not match the first syllable of the word. In normal readers a syllable compatibility effect (detection times were faster when the target corresponded to the first syllable of the word than when it did not) for unfamiliar words was observed. There was also a target length effect for familiar words, with two-letter targets strings responded to fastest. In contrast, for the below average readers the syllable compatibility effect was observed for familiar words, and the target length effect for unfamiliar words. In dyslexic readers a target length effect was found at all levels of word familiarity. The results indicated the following. Firstly, normal readers processed unfamiliar words phonologically, whereas familiar words were processed orthographically. Secondly, below average readers processed words phonologically irrespective of familiarity, but used syllabic units with familiar words and phonemes with unfamiliar words. Thirdly, dyslexic readers used a letter-by-letter strategy involving a visuo-orthographic procedure rather than a phonological one. A previous study established that the dyslexic children showed a poorer performance on both syllable and phoneme deletion tasks. Thus their letter-by-letter strategy might be explained by severe phonological deficits.
