ISBN: 1447155289 | 2013 | PDF | 176 pages | 3.4 MB

This book is a comprehensive review of the main acquired disorders of reading: hemianopic, pure and central alexia.

The authors review the diagnostic criteria for each of the different types of disorder, and the efficacy of the therapeutic studies that have attempted to remediate them.

The different theoretical models of adult reading, which largely rest on how the reading system responds to injury, are also discussed and evaluated.

Focal brain injury caused by stroke and brain tumors are discussed in depth as are the effects of dementia on reading.
