Abstract:

Beyond the well-known reading and spelling difficulties, dyslexic individuals
exhibit marked phonological disorders, poor lexical retrieval and problems in
the comprehension and production of grammatical structures that are
particularly expensive in terms of processing costs. To account for these
difficulties, the author presents an original hypothesis, proposing that
dyslexia is related to a working memory inefficiency, affecting in particular
the subject’s phonological skills and executive functions. The results of four
experimental protocols, assessing dyslexic children’s working memory and their
ability to interpret scalar implicatures, negative sentences and pronominal
expressions, are presented and discussed in this volume. Consistent with the
hypothesis outlined in this book, the results of the four studies show that
dyslexics underperformed in comparison to age-matched controls and even to
younger children in tasks requiring good phonological and processing
abilities.
