Abstract
In the Multiple Oral Re-reading (MOR) technique (Moyer, 1979), patients with alexia are asked to practice reading aloud simple text passages multiple times for a set number of days. Speed of reading practiced and unpracticed passages is recorded. Although Moyer initially reported improved reading of unpracticed text for a patient with pure alexia (PA), MOR’s role in the rehabilitation of alexia remains unclear in light of equivocal findings in subsequent studies (Moody, 1988; Tuomainen & Laine, 1991; Beeson & Insalaco, 1998). Conflicting results in these studies were possibly due to applying MOR to different types of alexia and to insufficient control of stimuli. We sought to remedy this in the current study by developing tightly controlled text passages to address questions of how and on what type of words the MOR technique might be having its effect, and for what type(s) of alexia.
