Abstract

Publisher Summary This chapter presents an experiment to examine ERPs in normal, aphasie, and dyslexic children during complex pictorial and letter-matching tasks. 20 children aged 5.7–12.7 years were observed at the Scottish Rite Institute for Childhood Aphasia, including an experimental (E) group of nine children enrolled in therapy and one diagnostic referral and a control group of 10 normal children. Seven aphasie children, varying widely in the extent of linguistic impairment, and three dyslexic children were included in the E group. Ss were seated in an electrically shielded, sound-dampened chamber about four feet in front of a screen on which slides were presented by means of a Kodak Carousel Projector. Signal averages digitized at 20 msec/point with eye movement compensated by weighted linear summation with vertical EOG were constructed for each S and condition.
