Abstract
Abstract The performance of a brain-damaged subject with severely impaired written spelling but markedly superior oral spelling ability is described. In common with a case reported by Lesser (1990), the patient showed an effect of spelling regularity for oral spelling (where she was worse at irregular words and made phonologically plausible errors) but showed effects of lexicality and word length for written spelling (where she was better at words than non-words and at short words than long words). The patient's initial writing performance and the significant improvements made in response to a remediation programme based on her superior oral spelling skills are reported. Models which suggest that both written and oral spelling share a common output buffer do not predict the occurrence of differing patterns of regularity, lexicality and word length for the two modes of spelling production. The paper will discuss the implementation and results of a theoretically motivated therapy programme, and the implicat...
